I've been away for more than a week, and LOOK how the garden has grown!

I was traveling to visit with @dreemsteem and while away, I left my oldest daughter in charge of watering. She did an amazing job (only one small pot of mint died from the wildly hot heat)!

The tomato grow in 7 gallon (about 25 liter) Grow Bags, The peppers in 5 gallon (about 18 liter) Grow Bags, the zucchini in 7 gallon (25 ltr.), squash and peas in 7 gallon bags. each bag has a mix of 1/3 peat, 1/3 garden soil, 1/3 compost (kitchen and garden greens only, no animal manure) w/ lobster, crab and oyster shells, and a handful of last year's compost pile (for the live bacteria), and handful of some Espoma® tomato and veggie fertilizer. I add a handful of worm castings about every two weeks to each bag.

Watering is daily in the morning, a misting of needed mid day and a watering after dinner. My garden gets a few hours of strong morning sun, a little tree shade at midday, and an afternoon/late day sun too.

Grovid 2021!!!

For those not following the past year or so, Grovid originally came from @dreemsteem.
She challenged us all, during the year's Pandemic news,
to talk less about Codiv19 and More about Grovid20!
To talk sustainability and gardening and growing for the future!

#SaveLiveEventsNow

2020... a wild and woolly year, if ever there was one, and slowly, 2021 too. My entire industry (Special Events) was shut down on 13 March 2020, and hasn't been back yet (That's 14 plus months of no work!) Personally, I am ok, but so many of my colleagues and friends are struggling with bills, paying for food and rent, medical and health insurance. I am hearing from clients, probably no work until about 4th quarter 2021.

😂😂😂

That's so hilarious, maybe because I'm guilty of of such act as well. Even while slicing veggies for cooking, I might end up eating much of it. Lol.

How was your journey with @dreemsteem

Meanwhile your daughter did a good at your absence.

The garden is indeed green and beautiful.

Thanks for sharing.

Wow what a garden! It looks amazing, so green. I guess that is from living up in the northeast!

yes, the rains do help! I also water a few times a day, when it doesn't rain.

garden is looking awesome. You mean it's not normal to eat peas while picking them? We always did that when mother sent us to bring in peas. She somehow never had that problem when she sent me to get beans. No idea why.
