My First Time Container Gardening – Week Eight

On By jackiblosblackisIn Gardening, vegetablesLeave a comment

I missed last week again but for a good reason this time. I went camping! I did not really take any pictures except one. I will do a post on that later this week. In the mean time I was trying to catch up on things I would have normally done on the weekend during the week. I just over-whelmed myself. How ever that situation is slowly improving itself.

This week all I have for pictures are the beans. I have a couple tomato plants still alive (I put the plants outside to early. Oops!)….I think they are still alive anyways. The end of this week I will let you know how that exactly went over.

They look good. A few leaves yellowed but that is because I did forget to water them before I left for a weekend. I also have since lost the smallest plant. It was not anchored into the soil very well and I could not help it out.

Lots of flowers still happening but we do have beans! They are not pink yet but they are also no where near being mature either.

These plants have completely surpassed my expectations and seem pretty hardy since they are still alive.

My First Time Container Gardening – Week Three (Part One)

I have decide to split this weeks updates into two posts as it would just be to long if I did not. If you read my review of Edible Antiques than you know I received in some more seeds! I got these plants this week. While there has been no sprouts it is still very exciting

I was a little more of mess when getting these guys done but I think that is okay. From left to right is as follows below:

Jaune De St Vincent Tomato

Now my French is not any good but I know that ‘jaune’ means yellow. I cannot remember if I had looked at these ones online but either way I am excited to try them. Yellow tomatoes are pretty rad.

Black Yum Yum Tomato

The Black Yum Yum’s I definitely looked at and very intrigued to see how they will taste. These are gorgeous when ripe.

Dutch Brown Winter Lettuce

I chose the Dutch Brown Winter lettuce specifically because it a butterhead lettuce. I have some seriously high hopes for this one.

Rougette Lettuce

These guys are also a butterhead lettuce and I originally skipped over them because I was firm on the Dutch Brown Winter. I am interested to see how this one turns out too.

Well, those are the new plants currently (hopefully) germinating. I was going to start another set of beans this round but I have not been able to get the other ones outside yet. They are ready to be hardened and than transplanted but we have had some crappy weather. I had them out for one day (and wow did they open up) but yesterday we had a rain storm with some very strong winds. There was no way they could have survived that mess. I will start the process over as soon as the wind dies down. I am crossing my fingers that it happens soon. Part to will be up tomorrow!
