I can't believe you have a lantern! Shocked

Cajunsmoke14 5/7/2014, 11:27 pm

Thanks, I have been so worried about all of them. I kind of baby all of it. I have never had my own garden, or seen a tomatillo grow. Will the fruit develop in the lantern?

Those are some gorgeous and motivating pictures. Your thumb is exceptionally green! Very nice indeed.

Marc Iverson 5/7/2014, 11:44 pm

Boy am I jealous! We had 37 degrees last night and you're growing beans and tomatillos so nicely already!

The tomatillo fruit will indeed grow inside the lantern, eventually filling it up and sometimes even bursting it. Fruit growth can come in fits and starts, though, sometimes idling for a while even after the lantern has long since gotten good-sized.

Beautiful garden beds. I especially like the wooden trellis.

How is the Hardie board working out as box material?

I assume your talking about the cement board. It works real good for a deeper bed, you just can't staple or nail the grid in place,due to it splitting the boards. I have to lay in the grid.

Looks WONDERFUL, Cajun!

I like the wooden trellis as well. Much better then my 2" square wire stuff that is a pain when I have to clear it in the fall. Even worse when I leave it until spring.

Cajun.....Thanks for sharing your garden pix. It makes those of us in the north have something to enjoy in their near future now that spring has sprung. Great pix.

nice...I love pic heavy posts...and I can't wait for my tomatillos to do the same thing.

Cajunsmoke14 5/9/2014, 7:42 am

Thanks for all the nice words, can't wait to see all of yours pictures as well.

Jmichelle 5/9/2014, 11:01 am

Perfect lettuce, radish, peas and spinach planting weather. When is your last average frost? I suspect tomatoes, cukes, beans, and peppers will have to wait a while.

May 30th!

Very lovely, Cajun! I too love the wooden bean trellis. What are the grids made of? And how long do you think they will last?

X2, everything looks so nice, green and healthy!! There is a threat about tomatillos. I understand they ripen around august. The lantern will turn brown. Someone said to wait til the fruit comes off with minimal effort. We'll find out soon!! Very Happy

When I get home from work, I tell my wife I'm going to check on my babies. I go in the back yard to work on my garden. My wife was talking to a coworker and the coworker called her plants her babies. My wife said, "hey! That`s what my husband calls his plants." If you don't sfg, you don't get it...right?? Wink

A friend of mine owns a flooring company, and the is the scrap leftovers. Most of the wood is red oak and walnut. It's not treated, and chemicals have never touched them except through rain.

With that thought they may not last but a season or two, but I can get all I want, and the cost is zero. I was going to go with the netting trellis, but I thought this would be more attractive plus its free, Very Happy
