Mugan's rehabilitation project, (vegetable garden)

UPDATE .. cucumbers, there not doing as good as ad likem to , but there not dead .. so.. thats good

also papaya tree , from where i spent Christmas .. i got some seeds will be planting bout 20 in the ground , got to wait like 6 months tho

That Papaya is LOADED!
I usually trim off some of the flower buds off when they're setting to provide enough room for each one to properly mature. Those look like the big red variety or something. The leaf stems are purple/red right? Looks awesome. Do you ever get the papaya worm(don't know if they have it on another continent )? It is a wasp larvae that gets laid in there. I have to paper bag them while they're real small to prevent entry.

that's not the one i got, i only have one tree, never got anything but birds eating them

Did you have a good Christmas Mugan? Hope so. That cuc looks good to me. I've never seen a papaya tree before. hella fruit on there.

Christmas was grt , got drunk and merry , how bout urs

It was nice. Went with family to my aunts. My parents got me a big powerful stand mixer for making my edibles.

UPDATE .. whats growing right now

I don't know why, but can't see the pics. It shows there is an attachment, but when I click on it is says invalid pathway or something.

I trained a cucumber vine tio grow vertically on a string, until ab out 5' tall.
All fruit set wouldimmediately abort.
As soon as I droppedthat fucker on the ground,
I hada 10" long 3,5" wide Cucumber ready to eat in a couple weeks.

Just referringto how mine responded to climbing, which wasn't well.

@ fumble. al try and get some others up me and the uploader never get along

i train mine as well but some times (since there so close to the top which getts really hot, they suffer some heat stress mid day and the large leaves droop

I'll be waiting Mugan. Cool idea to train the cucs. I will have to try that next time I grow them.

this time am mostly gonna be doing the corn/cucumber companion planting and al put more tomatoes inside

update

corn is rdy, so are the cucs , also got some new tomatoes comin up

Awesome Mugan! I did a 3 Sisters garden last year with corn squash and beans. Cucs were one of my squashs. The beans climbed the corn, but kind of took it over. I ended up making corn tipis. I used 10 ft lengths of 1/2 inch pvc and staked it to the corn green bean stalks. Then brought the tops of 3 of them together and voila`! a tipi. It was pretty cool to smoke in.

I bet you will have a smile on your face the whole time you are eating those delicious vegies.

kewl kewl, ive seen the beans and corn, never tried it my self. mostly cuz am too lazy to take beans out of there pods


. and ... yes .. yes i always have a smile on when i eat these . prolly cuz always high while i do

the veggies look yummy, i'm jealous because i didn't have any cukes last year, and i looooove that rose behind the corn.

Looks delicious.
Mmmmm corn and cucumbers.

hehe, i don't eat em together LOL, but ya luv cucs , and roasted maize , next time i might try sweet corn, tried some the other day and its grt , just got to find seeds and thx much mello ,

ok this year am adding cucs to the outside circulation, and al be using corn to train them



***tha patches







i sowed the cucs in in twos and threes , just in case . al pull out the extra and try to save em and re plant them some where else . maybe here , (where the big peppers were ) am doing the prep thinking of doing corn/ cuc companion here too


starting more tomatoes , this is an unknown strain , grows like a cherry tomatoes but the tomatoes are bigger

That tomato looks exactly like my Floradade when it sprouts! I guess they all look alike, but seriously exactly like that.
Nice plots.
