- The vegetable garden is a key part of my family’s plan for homesteading on 1 acre, and I'm so excited to be growing our groceries. Join me in the summer garden to see what we're growing to feed our family: summer veggies are just starting to set fruit, and we're a few weeks away from our first big harvests.
Tomatoes for sure! 🙂
I’m dealing with some blossom end rot on my tomatoes right now 😬. I just started watering more and adding calcium. I hope you have a great tomato harvest this season🤞🤞
I took a screen shot of the plant and it came out as blue anise sage. A type of salvia/sage. I was also thinking that the pattern you see on the one pumpkin isn’t powdery mildew but normal for that variety. And I’m sooo jealous of your camomile ! I’ve been trying to grow it for years from seed. I gave up and bout a couple plant starts when they went on sale. I’m hoping they take off. One thing I don’t have trouble growing is chocolate mint. It borders my patio. I didn’t plant it there, it traveled from a small herb bed and took over in a rock border. When it flowers, oh! so wonderful! Thank you soooo much for the tour. I can’t believe how good everything is growing. You have the green thumb for sure 😊
Oh! What I’m looking forward to is growing jalapeños. I made cowboy candy last year from peppers I bought at a farmers market. But I’d like to make them from my own garden this year.
Thanks for identifying that plant! Also, I think you’re absolutely right about those pumpkin leaves. Ha. I think I’m so paranoid about powdery mildew that I’m seeing it everywhere. I actually bought camomile seeds and then decided to just buy transplants instead. Definitely easier than getting seed started.
I haven’t made cowboy candy. My husband likes jalapeños in every form, so maybe I’ll give it a try. I definitely want to preserve some jalapeños this year because we’ve been buying them for our taco/nacho nights
Your garden is beautiful! Especially the beet greens. I've heard those can be really good. Have you tried eating them?
Thank you! We have been eating the beet greens. I’ve been cooking them in a bit of lard (old school, I know, but I happened to have it on hand). I’d like to try them cooked with bacon, too.
