How's everyone's urban gardens doing? I'm getting a ton of yield from all of my plants, likely thanks of the heat.
1. Chili / pepper plants have absolutely exploded this year. We have Arapaho, Habanero, Serrano, Thai Red Chili’s, Purple Beauty and Pepperoncini. They’re all producing a ton of fruit and are nuclear spicy, especially the Serrano’s. We tried planting Ghost Peppers, but none of the flowers have taken and we have no production from it. Not sure what the issue is, but I don’t think that we’ll try those again.
2. Tomato plants are the same as the chili’s, I have great luck with those every year. We start them in April using West Cost Seeds, the cherry tomatoes are my favourite.
3. Our squash garden is producing okay, but we are having issues with that white, powdery mildew. Has anyone had success keeping that stuff under control?
The rest of the garden is so incredible this year. We have a bunch of purple dead nettle growing randomly around the backyard and it’s providing great ground cover, and the bees love it. Our other veggies (beans, onions, cucumbers, potatoes, etc.) are doing also really well. We even have a couple of absolutely massive cannabis plants that came in randomly in our tomato garden this year. We’ve never planted cannabis in that garden, so I suppose I have birds to thank for this one. The plants are legit taller than I am
Hope everyone is having as much luck this year, it’s been a hot one!
