Yellow squash doing their thing.

Getting some little tomatoes and lots of blooms

Peppers are setting fruit, so far so good.

Love how the dew patterns on these cucumber leaves.

First plants, Some of the 4” pepper and tomato sets, from Reifels in Brazoria, went in February 28th. Cucumber and Lima bean seeds went in a week or so later, Other sets and seeds went in up until about a week ago.

Garden photo from March 10th



Same garden March 29th. I added the leaves I think it was the day before.

Today, side dressed plants with the Medina 3/2/3 pasteurized poultry fertilizer. Rain due tonight or tomorrow. Holding off water until then. Soil getting a little too basic with the sweet water lake irrigation, rain and oak leaves ought to add some acidity.



Lots of little peppers on various plants.


Good timing on adding extra garden space, although I had it done before this covid mess.



Corn and melons up.

I think you could sit and watch those plants grow they are growing so fast. Can't believe you already have tomatoes.....I'm all excited 'cause I have blooms on my 'maters.

I can't find any low cost $1.29 each tomatoes/peppers right now. Usually buy them at Houston Garden centers but with everyone staying home they sell out in 12 hours after the new shipments arrive. Going by the Channelview and Tomball store every afternoon. They have Cherry maters and a couple misc hot peppers.
Frustrating and will not pay $3.50 each for The Scammed Bonnies at Lowes or Home Depot.

You may want to check with Nature's Way Resources in Conroe/Woodlands. I bought some tomato and pepper plants from them a few weeks ago and they are doing well. I just checked with them this afternoon after seeing your post and verified that they have plants. Their number is (936) 321- 6990.

I think they are up to $3.78/4” pot. at the big boxes. Feed stores seem much more reasonable. Riefels in Brazoria is $1.75/4” pot, but that is a long drive.

Nice garden and thanks for sharing the leafs and Medina method. I usually keep my leaves in the garden during the winter months, but never thought about after I plant.
