Up the fence :uhuh:

broc in the shade?
 

so you did have OK luck with Broccoli in the shade? I had some space on the north side I have always wanted to do something with and maybe I'll did out and amend the soil a bit and drop some seeds. Now is a good time for them?

yes.... just remember that with cole crops ....i like to call them "cold crops"
there's always room for more water... i drop seeds in place....and i raise transplants too in flats in case those fail.....
i even grow corn in pots because sometimes it gets to hot and with pots
you gain the advantage of being able to move them any where they like it best...
just in case those fail ...as back up
for example corn grows best on the EAST side of the house...
plenty of morning sun but shaded in the afternoon... so experiment

VYB - that spaghetti squash?
JJet - i put my broc and cauli in and for the most part the area is shaded until around mid noon. Ben my old man who grows his in pure sun can't believe the plants though I see no heads yet. Leaves are big though

Yes sir ,
Picked yesterday , will cook up tomorrow :jump1:

got second growth coming fast of broc. shoots
but the squash is getting powdery mildew
what with 90 degree weather and rain :doh:
and my once luxuriant hubbard squash has some weird
white spots now.... like bleach splatter on a t-shirt
so i think the whole crop might fail before the fruit is ripe. :wall:

Well, the hits keep on comin! One of my tomato plants was producing fruit that rotted from the bottom. Can't remember the name but scrapped that. Then some of the other ones are producing very small fruit. Brocc. isn't producing anything but HUGE and I mean HUGE leaves. Beans are doing alright.

Seems like everything slowed down a bit. Hoping this rain we just had will help out a bit. Heaven knows we need more!

realized my bleach spots were due to safer insecticidal soap spray to foil the striped cucumber beetle which are small yet destructive.... so they're ok

BOB you may have over fertilized ....but that's just a GUESS.

Eating HG carrots that are so juicy they make store carrots seem like wood.

Squash- The regular yellow squash & zuccini we put in late just started not about two weeks ago but are quickly failing. The new striped Zucchini I tried this year (supposed to be more disease resistant) has been the star of the show and STILL going strong! Amazing the difference a variety can make.

Replanted so lettuce mix, bunching onion seed (use like scallions) and more swiss chard just for giggles a week ago and all is popped already and looking good so far.

Going to dig taters in a few days I think.....what shall I try in their place? hmm....

peppers seem to take the longest to germinate.
