Well everything seems to be doing good. Here is what's happening now.
Tomatoes: Black Krim has set it's first fruit.They should be the first to ripen.I doubt they will be perfectly round because at least two are mega blooms. Black from Tula continues to bloom but should have fruit set any day now.Have blooms on Rose and Vorlon and Blane's fav Mariana's Peace which is a mega bloom. All the rest should be blooming over the next week or two.As many here remember I got a late start so I know I will have tomatoes past September.
Bell Peppers:After a slow start my bell peppers are finally catching up with the rest of the garden. Did not get as many out as I wanted to but what is there (16 plants) are doing good. 8 of these represent an heirloom sent to me by Mrtomatoexpress last year it is called Grandpa Stella and is an Italian Bell. Some of the largest plants are showing small flower buds that should be blooming in about a week.
Jalapeno: The only hot pepper to make it to the garden as the others are being slow growing so will be wintered over. These plants are right behind my bells on growth but by the looks of it should bloom soon too.
Cucumbers: The only Hybrid in the garden.And they seem to have just recently decided to go crazy like my AG pumpkins and Kobacha. Looks like we have fruit set here too.
Sugar Baby Watermelon: What is it with my vine crops this year? They all seem to want to take over Michigan!!! These plants are doing fine and I expect blooms very soon.Hope they bare as good as they grow.
Pumpkins:AG has male blooms going right now but nothing else yet.Vines continue to grow like crazy. Howden should have its first blooms soon along with first fruit ( I hope ).All the rest are at different stages of growth but should be ready for Halloween.
Kobacha Squash: Seems this will be my runaway producer this year with several fruit set on the vines.Looking forward to using these for baked goods. These made great pie last year.Lorna is responsible for getting me hooked on these.
Gonna put in a late planting of zukes and I hope green beans and some fall peas. Not as much in the garden as I wanted but still some good stuff.
