Long beans are slowly coming up

I tried my hand at growing vegetables after a long long time. I got a good crop of tomatoes and now I see long beans. I got to cook them once and more are showing up.
I am now encouraged. I have just planted brijnal seedlings which I got from sowing seeds. Hope to see results in a few months.
Not everything was a success. The ladyfingers were a mess and I think the ridge gourd also may not show up.
What are you growing just now?

so with the help of the big G, the long beans in your picture would be sitaw, the lady fingers okra, the ridge gourd patola, and the brijnal would be eggplant. (i like searching what i read here)
my mother planted ampalaya (bitter ground) for the first time this year and we were able to harvest some.

@hereandthere Even watering is an important part of gardening.

But you do have a flourishing garden when the time is right.I have replied to the statement made@MALUSE " Is it possible that you've forgotten that myLot is an international site? " There are other places where gardening goes on during this time.

@allknowing I know that there are people all around the world here, I only thought to our northern countries, where now the soil is frozen.

I know those in cold countries have that problem not being able to grow ,much but when you are ready I must say your gardens flourish much better than what we see here.

@crazyhorseladycx I am aware of your short seasons but have seen many here who talk about their success with whatever grows at your end much better than what I can produce.

Sadly there's not a lot to grow this time of year but I have some potatoes in the green house. I don't know if they'll do well or not.

Different countries have different growing patterns. Here too we have peak and lean seasons. I have never grown potatoes but they do well in cooler climates here in India.

Aww that stinks that those two haven't grown properly, but you know that is how you learn best what those plants truly require! Nothing like hands-on learning.

@buttheadface932 The ridge gourd was a mess too. It has all to do with the staggering rains. They stopped in between and these are vegetables that are normally grow in in the rainy season.

I just read somewhere that even in winter something or the other grows?

@BelleStarr As long as you get your vegetables it does not matter where you grow them.

@allknowing We get a hard freeze and plenty of snow, I would have to grow it indoors.

So far so good. I did have some ants which I got rid of by spraying an ants repellent.

Could be quite an impatient wait - 6 months is indeed a long period.

I have trouble growing anything. It looks like you have a good crop.
@allknowing (153544)

Not a good crop but just that they have started yielding.
