We are enjoying our little gardens. It's easy to keep them watered and the weeds can be removed quickly.
First, I'll talk about Lonnie's onions...the ones he planted from onion sets. Two of the four that he planted developed a big flower head.
I read online that that means the underground part will not develop any more - so just take them up and see if there is anything that can be used.
There wasn't on the two flowering ones...but he went ahead and took up the other two also. They did have bulbs on them and we sliced them and ate them on hamburgers.
The blooms were kind of pretty though. I think they would be fine for decorative planting. You sure wouldn't want to put them in a vase in the house - really oniony smelling.
This is my crowded bed. That's zucchini in the front left and I believe butternut squash behind there. Next is kale, cherry tomatoes and potatoes. somewhere there are 2 small pale cucumber vines. They aren't getting enough sun.
The potatoes are a huge surprise. I really didn't expect much from them but they are thriving. They have pretty little blooms on them too.
The kale is producing. The young leaves are fine...but they get bitter as they get larger.
I noticed a tiny zucchini this morning...it may be ready to pick tomorrow or the next day.
