What did you get from the greenhouse or garden today?

I got two handfuls of peas and 3 cherokee wax beans. πŸ’›

We are in-between at the moment - I was getting carrots and cabbage, just waiting on onions, potatoes, tomatoes, beans, peas, squash, zucchini, peppers...

Our growing season is quite short, (mid May through to mid Oct as we are at altitude, and the first frosts kill most things). I did cabbage, carrots, onions in the greenhouse for the first time this winter (just gone) and did reasonably well.

Our dirt is clay and rocks, and compacts down at the slightest thing, so I have to aireate around the plants 2 or 3 times or they get stunted.

Last year, only the potatoes/onions did well, everything else was poor... very depressing. Hoping for a better show this year, we had early rain, and I have watered more this year so fingers crossed. ☺️

I am still learning container gardening and yes, the soil gets compacted quickly. Sometimes I move the plants around and try to loosen the soil as I can without harming the plants, but it isn't easy. I started a new back garden this year, container, with metal and I loved the design of the all inclusive unit, but now I am seeing the flaws of it. rain with the cover just breaks the plastic bar top. And so far in this huge raised bed, the only things I get growing are a couple of tomatoes and strawberry plants, but I can't seem to keep it moist and it drys out way too fast. And i filled it with cut logs/branches, shredded junk mail and paper, and a lot of flower/vegetable dirt for the raised bed. Sigh, I am still working at this one container raised bed.

and...

I actually got some giant flower containers recently and they seem to be doing well for the corn, eggplant, tomatoes and so forth! I even have a patio peach in a container.

And I started all green hosta seeds this year from my mom's garden, and I have 4 containers full of baby hosta plants now. It took a long while for those to come up, now I have to find out where to put them all!
