Garden Porn: Survival

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

The area had a frost advisory last night–or, at least, all the counties northwest of here, stopping at Washington DC. I covered up as many plants as I could just in case, but from the look of the ones I had to leave exposed, we don’t appear to have gotten any frost. I suppose that’s a positive part of the urban heat island effect?

Anyway, I took these pictures on Sunday, shortly after buying and planting some new seedlings… enjoy!

The whole garden... still a lot of planting yet to be done, but we're getting closer!

Pole beans... this is the first year I'm growing them.

Yet more peppers... now in addition to bells, I've got Anaheims, jalapeños, and sweet peppers.

I'm also trying melons this year... but I need them to climb up the fence instead of spreading out, because I need the real estate.

Monday Garden Porn – Unexpected Edition

Monday, July 6th, 2009

I was going to have some guest garden porn today, as I thought I was flying home to my parents’ house in Michigan this morning to spend a week visiting up there, but when I got to the ticket counter at BWI it turned out that my ticket was in fact for tomorrow. That’s something that would have been good for me to notice before I woke up at 5:45 to go to the airport, but things being what they are, I’m going to make the most of it. Expect some garden porn from my parents’ garden later this week.

One of my eggplants is starting to come in.  Soon I'm going to have to find a good recipe that uses eggplant.  Incidentally, baby eggplants look like they come from another planet.  (Click to embiggen.)

The bell peppers are coming in too!  I wish I could remember what specific kind they are, but I really can't. (Click to embiggen.)

The plum tomatoes are growing.  Fresh, garden-picked salsa is only a few weeks away. (Click to embiggen.)
