I actually had some peanuts growing before, but, as always, my husky
got to it outside. Thats why I promised myself I wouldn't even start

planting seeds until I got that fence up.

Its funny because my husky hasn't even tried digging by it.

I put chickenwire
all around the perimeter so her, or any other critters get to my veggies.

Now for a little update on the garden....

Pics will be up later after I get some homework done. The squash are growing VERY fast. My transplanted tomatoes are doing great as well, they

both have about 2 1/2 new sets of new leaves coming in. And oh, did I tell you I left my gate half open and something (assuming it was a squirrel, the gate was barely cracked and the garden is fenced in with rabbit wire, so..) got in there and ate most of one of my transplanted tomato plants?!?!?! OMG, I was pissed. And it took a leaf off of my healthiest, biggest, and brightest Scarlett runner bean plant! GRRR!!!

I planted more great northern beans and all of them came up within four days, I think there about 2-3 that will pop in the next two days. I was thinking about planting some beans (red) on the front part of the garden to give the rest of them a shade break when the weather gets hot. And here it gets to 115 degrees very easily most days in the mid-late summer. And I'm thinking about getting a trellis. =)
Because I really want success with my jalapenos, and I hear those scorch
easily, so yeah.

I killed some corn plants, I think about 2. They were 3 1/2 weeks old, and were only an inch and a half tall. And were experiencing some yellowing of the leaves and purple edges. So, I think they were stunted because they
were transplanted in dirt, no soil. And our dirt is clay...

not good for the roots when they can't expand. So, I dug a little
trough in the ground, filled it 3/4 hay, and put some soil on top. Dropped about 15 corn kernels on, and put a little bit of dirt on top of the soil. The wind is pretty strong here in the valley and if I didn't put dirt, the soil would blow away.

I killed one of my cuke seedlings, I could tell he wasn't going to make it because he was wilting and yellowing. I'm wondering if I should get my dirt tested, or just do what I've been doing and keep planting seeds in soil.

The smaller peanut plant sprouted a new set of leaves. So did some of the older great northern beans.

My tiny tomatoes are starting on their new set of leaves. I'm proud!!!!

Pumpkins are doing great of course, they love it up here. They're a very heat sturdy plant.

The watermelons and cantaloupe are still in the cups. But, since they
are in clear cups, and sun isn't good for roots, I buried the cups in the ground loosely. Their roots are beginning to show when you look at the cup.

My eggplant leaves somewhat curled up, I think it was outgrowing the container because it also sprouted 2 new leaves. So I transplanted it in the back of the garden.

My onions are doing ok. The one I started from a set is getting HUGE.
So I planted another behind the peanuts since there is no more room in the onion mound. I would like to build a box so I can add more loose soil when the onions get bigger. So I get big onions.... mmm. I love fresh cut onions in salsa, and especially tacos de carne asada!!!

With all the veggies I'm growing (lets hope they all survive) I could make
the best fresh pico de gallo and salsa. MMM!!!

How does fresh spaghetti sauce taste like? Becase remember, I'm growing
basil too... It smells good actually.

Clinatro still haven't sprouted, the germination period is 14-21 days, just like the jalapenos.

And the bell pepper plant is all good. Getting bigger.

Ok, I got homework to do. I will be back later with pictures.

Oh, I forgot to say, my boyfriend and I now have a total of 3 healthy
little cannabis seedlings!!!!

They are outside and are doing great. Growth is steady, they're standing up straight,
and the oldest one is on its second set of leaves.

I also had forgot I had germinated some bag seeds last week, and left them in my cabinet. When I checked on
them, they had the cotyledons on them already!!!! I accidentally broke one, the tap root was about 3 inches long!!!!

One I got planted without breaking, and the leaves are getting greener. It is in the windowsill. I will wait til that little
gal is hardened off to outside before I post pics. Or lets some all four of them are gals!
