Yellow and green Zukes:
A shot of my SFG: Barrels and tubs.
Two Bell peppers in a tub:

Everything looks so lush and green. Well done.MrBooker wrote:Truly blessed again this year.

I have a question about your onions. I found I wasted so much space with my onions this year. I did not plant them close enough together. So, how wide is the onion bed and what was your spacing. It looks just about right.

Re: Garden pics from S/W Illinois
The inside to inside of the bed is 20 inches. The onions are planted on 4 inch centers. They could have been planted a little closer I think but I was expecting them to get bigger than they did.yolos wrote:Everything looks so lush and green. Well done.MrBooker wrote:Truly blessed again this year.

So, 9/sq planting. They are beautiful looking. The whole garden is beautiful.MrBooker wrote:The inside to inside of the bed is 20 inches. The onions are planted on 4 inch centers. They could have been planted a little closer I think but I was expecting them to get bigger than they did.

Nah, I used to roast them but now I boil and then pickle them in the cooking water with vinegar and Stevia to taste. YUM! Wish I could get mine to grow like yours. I grow them just for the greens now and have to buy roots.
PS I meant beet greens in the above post.

Yes, 9 per sq ft. In my original post, I put "Zukes" on a trellis. I ment to say "Cukes"...sanderson wrote:So, 9/sq planting. They are beautiful looking.

Re: Garden pics from S/W Illinois
I love the bench in the middle where you can enjoy a nice beverage and take it all in.
Re: Garden pics from S/W Illinois
You musta drove by and seen me sit'n out there with a cold Bud light lime. It's been so HOT I haven't been able to sit out there much except at daylight or late evening.countrynaturals wrote: I love the bench in the middle where you can enjoy a nice beverage and take it all in.
It was beautiful this morning at 5:30 with a light rain shower and 72* as I sat on my red neck deck under the umbrella with a cup of coffee. Back up into the upper 90's next week though.

Re: Garden pics from S/W Illinois
Thanks. The heat is dreadful here in the Midwest this year. Havent seen it like this in many years. Blistering hot sun every day. I heavily mulched everything this year and so glad I did but still have to water every other day.sanderson wrote:Mr. Booker, nice!
Dragging that water hose around the garden makes me thirsty... glug glug.

OMG, I'm so jealous of your tomatoes and peppers! And I want to come and sit on that bench and admire that pretty garden.

Thanks Fiz. The Pink girl tomato's have been a favorite of mine for many years. You can see how big some of them get and I start harvesting around the 1st of July here in zone 6A and will harvest until the frost kills them.Fiz wrote:Pardon my French but holy cr*p that's one big tomato, haha.

Even though the outside skin is pink, the inside is red and juicy.
