jjannie's 2020 gardening

[jjannie]

Hey Jil, it's coming up on a month since you last posted some pics of your GH plants, do you have any new pics you could share? I bet it's really been growing good.

 I'll try to get some more today. It is growling well. We each ate a first ripe cherry tomato today during our walk-around checking on all that's growing. Seems many of the cukes that we saw early probably never got pollinated, or at least not well enough as they wither and eventually fall off. So we've plugged in oscillating fan to cooling side of that outlet so to put light breeze moving some air around a bit in there to assist the pollination of the cukes, and I am sure the tomatoes won't mind it as well.

When we first got back from Idaho, we had several squash that had not been pollinated, now that the bees are out in force, we are not having any problems. One thing that helps, is having a lot of clover in my grass, I think it helps to bring the bees in closer to my veg plants and they will evidently move over to the Veg plants.

 I bet that would help - hopefully our fan will help things out. Here's our GH pics I took yesterday. We harvested 4 red cherry tomatoes - they were so yummy, we even pulled a carrot so we could see how they were doing - it was about 4 inches long, very sweet and tasty - looking forward to harvesting them later this season.
