Plants that I have, so far

((Originally posted in the Tomatoes forum. Moved here because it's probably more appropriate here).

This is just a way for me to keep track of things that I've done and plants that I have. I don't know how to use the DG's garden journal very well. I won't be celebrating my first year as a "real" gardening nut until Spring 2006 so I'm still a newbie at this. Please feel free to jump in with comments and such. I'm having such a good time growing things and learning from others here at DG.

All of my plants are in containers. Here's a picture of my "on-the-ground garden".

thanks for the pics. everything looks great. its about 55 and raining here n upstate new york.

It's been cool here for the last couple of days. Night temp. in the low 50's and daytime in the low 80's. Great for my cyclamens and gardenia. But my DH keeps warning me that the Santa Anas are coming so I'm weighting down all patio furnitures and staking all my tomatoes. The wind can be really bad for the plants because even when they are not strong, they are still hot and blow constantly for hours. Tender leaves just get dessicated.

Radish in a box? French Breakfast seedlings. My first time growing radishes and I think I sowed them too close together.

Here they are, today. Lots of green tops but I'm not sure how big the radish part is.

WOW, you have done a LOT for a first season gardener. It all looks wonderful.

Quyen:
Let me know how the vegies turn out, you have definetely lot of them growing, well I am hoping to grow some maters, cuckes, peppers on Earth Boxes but its getting kind of chilly at night so we'll see. I want to grow some early girl, sweet baby girl, roma, park's tomatoes, maraca mix peppers, cucumber diva if the weather cooperates if not I'll start my winter gardening and I'll grow some Sugar snaps, lady finger carrots, snow peas, and radishes, but only time can tell.
