Why are all paste tomato plants so scrawny? #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Pepper bed. Some look good some look sad. This is why I grew so many. Some can be sad and I can still get plenty of peppers (I hope 🤞🏻) #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

My potatoes look really good! My sweet potatoes look super sad 😔 #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Ok. Made myself some tomato supports. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Buzzy bee helping me with peppers and maters! #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Breakfast includes eggs from a neighbor with chickens, my garlic scapes, peppers and basil from last year. Not trying to be healthy just trying to eat what I grew 🤣

Honeynut butternut plant. My faves. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Orange honeydew and mini me watermelon. We'll see if i get any this year. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

The indeterminate tomatoes are happy! #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

The onion and leek bed looking good! And the kidney, navy & pinto beans are growing in nicely. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

2 nice size kohlrabi for me! #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

A dwarf tomato and my chocolate sprinkles have set some maters! Whoo! IT'S FINALLY SUMMER #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

So many swallowtail caterpillars! ❤️ #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening #Butterflies

My garlic crop is smaaaaaaaaall this year. So not enough scapes to make pesto. So I picked the 2 I had this morning and will have them with breakfast this weekend. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

I'M EATING PEAS I GREW AND PICKED FROM MY OWN GARDEN! WHOOOO! #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

And today I learn when it looks like one of my caterpillars has melted - that was them expelling all excess to be ready to chysalis. So I found it and put it in the butterfly hatchery #gardening

Current count is 11 swallowtail caterpillars in my back staircase nothing on fresh locked dill and parsley. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

So I never ended up pulling my peas and now I'm snacking on four or five every day. I don't think I'll ever grow enough to have any to save, but at least it's a nice fresh treat before maters and peppers come in. #VegetableGardening

@mrmannswife.bsky.social watched your video on cooking yard long beans on youtube this morning! Just want to say THANK YOU for putting tips out like this for those of us whose mothers couldn't cook and struggle to this day with making things actually taste good! :D

Started the day off by making rhubarb jam with my rhubarb! 😁 #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

you know how I know I'm really feeling bad? I have tomato flowers and don't even care. #VegetableGardening

Allergies are kicking my ass. I am not used to this, my allergies have historically been very mild. I feel like crap and it's rainy so I'm not going into the #VegetableGardening today

Well it looks a mess in there now but the carrots are all thinned out. Also ate a handful of peas which is about as many as I have ever gotten 🤣 #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

My orange flowers all make me so happy! #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Can't pronounce this one either 🤣 #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Super excited to try this variety! #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Hungarian *sweet* yellow wax pepper #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

The second of my not hot peppers also doing well! #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Nadapeño coming in (not) hot! 🤣 #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

I can't pronounce these but I'm excited anyway! #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Started these in January #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Tracking my peppers- this is a paprika variety #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Ok this is stage 1 if my corn bed. I'll plant the corn tonight and then cover it all with the insect netting. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Tomorrow I'm going to finish up my planting for the season. It's just sweet corn and beans.

All tomatoes and peppers now planted! Now the daily checking and trying to make them grow with my mind 🤣🤣 #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Burpees delivered my final tomatoes and peppers. I'll plant them in the morning when I have the energy to chicken wire them so they don't get dug out by the rodents. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Gardening #Zone5A

I missed the thinning window and now I have to brave the jungle to thin. Oooof. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Ok I planted more Navy beans and some pinto beans. Also chicken wire everywhere and an attempt to give the bush beans a little support. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Navy beans and kidney beans coming up. Planting more now... #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Here's a thread of random gardening bits and bobs from my season of #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #Gardening

Welp I'm TERRIBLE at guesstimating. 3 loads was 7. This pile though will be the last load and that job will be done. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

About 12 loads shoveled and moved this afternoon. About 3 more to go I guesstimate. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

When you have so many pepper plants - (all for just one person!) - you don't even care about "small" plants setting fruit and you are just gonna let them go ROFL #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Gardening #Zone5A

Today in 2021 vs now: pictures of my garden. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Some of my peppers are peppering! #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Rain did not stop me (completely). I got 3 or 4 loads of dirt shoveled and moved before it got too muddy. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

This is a variety of a tromboncino squash I'm trying this year with protection added against the dreaded "squash vine rodent" 🤣🤣 @mrmannswife.bsky.social #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening

My 'Nadapeño' plant had a couple of wee peppers! 🤣😍 #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Not gonna lie - I bought this everbearing strawberry variety not for the tiny berries but for the beautiful red flowers! #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening
