I start many plants inside and I also sow seed straight into the ground. Last week I did the garden planting. I plant by the moon (old farmers Almanac) I check on the garden every day since I spotted rabbits wandering in it.
I now have squash and one row of okra up with its big pretty new leaves. I seen the cucumbers are busting open and tiny green bent stems are breaking ground.
The bell pepper plants I started by seed inside are now blooming. The tomatoes the first round are giving me tomatoes, small but.... the others I grew from seed have taken to the outside and have grown several inches.
The poor eggplants, they look so tiny, I hope they make it.
How is your garden growing?

the one thing I wish I had was a garden. It would be so nice to get up and pick my own vegetables
Your garden sounds like it's coming along nicely.

@andriaperry No garden here but I'm thinking of planting some things in pots on my deck. Is it too late to plant?

Yes it is, do you have flower beds ? Plant a tomato there with the flowers, I used to do that all the time. you can do a squash plant, or bell pepper plant.

Our tomatoes are blooming. So hopefully soon they will grow tomatoes. Im excited to see them grow. Jalapeños are doing good, as is the basil and black eyed peas.

I envy you. I am never good with vegetables. Those plants know I am not keen eating them, so they have refused to grow so far. I have some tomatoes in flowers right now, but they are cherry type (and Cherry tomatoes do not count to me LOL). I wish I could grow some okra, it has become an obsession to me, to plant some!

). The next time, it must be 100% successful.

It is great fun and satisfaction to grow your own vegetables. Hope the eggplants make it.
