I am late on the watch my garden grow series

Plus I forget what week I am on. It has been a hectic few weeks with graduation and planting and dealing with contractors. I got behind with my updates. Then we also had a few days of rain.

But I am happy to report things are looking pretty good

I have some more weeds to pull out there once I finish this post. I needed to rest my back for a few and decided to break to make this post. I am very happy to see my big boys tomatoes have started to produce since my last update.

My big boys are not alone my Bell peppers are also started producing

We eat a lot of bell peppers each year. I am looking forward to saving a little bit of money and sharing with friends and family.

My roma tomatoes are producing the best this far

I got early producing tomatoes on these plants and new fruit is producing each day I check on it. I am gonna harvest a ton from these plants. Here are two photos
the large one is the first that produced this season been documenting it's growth

My Russet potatoes seem to be taking off as well

Last time I checked only a few seemed to have taken. But after a bunch of rain and a couple of days of not going out there to look I see a bunch more has taken off. And the red potatoes next to it is already starting to produce it's flowers. They take 70-120 days to grow. I should have red potatoes by the end of July. With the russet coming a few weeks later.

I garden differently than most

I think mother nature does a good job if we plant herbs near our veggies and fruits to act as a natural repellant. But even if natures creatures eat some of what I plant I am cool with that because they have a purpose too and 1they deserve to eat also. I pull weeds and don't use chemicals. Because I want to be healthy and I don't want to add things to the earth that will poison her.

Gaint Sunflower garden bed

I am not sure if some of the seeds didn't take or if they are late bloomers but Inam happy with the sprouts I have so far coming up. The whole trying to be in balance with nature and all I am trying to attract honeybees cause these chemicals that are being sprayed are killing them off. Help the planet and plant some sunflower seeds if you can. They help the honeybees. Which helps pollinate our crops. Bees= food.
