Not sure why, and now I forget which bed was gold and which bed was russets. I think the bed on the left is russets but not for sure. The 2 new beds that went in today are for tomatoes. Will plant 2 per bed and then use 2x2 lumber to build a cage around the plants for support. More to come on that as they grow.

Here is the new potato ranch.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj11tErJaHw-rFZFRNQ7_GwZUtLDr09iMHgIytIbdewJgQ0f-4vXjLOJywaVx67UH_ahXtZvQw-oYlICvY-DmTgRukvdG5XcaSAWLMkQwIZz5Tn-_fT7-ptVTwjqMZINvER6Nk27-u3PuMt/s1600/potato2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600048479619277138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj11tErJaHw-rFZFRNQ7_GwZUtLDr09iMHgIytIbdewJgQ0f-4vXjLOJywaVx67UH_ahXtZvQw-oYlICvY-DmTgRukvdG5XcaSAWLMkQwIZz5Tn-_fT7-ptVTwjqMZINvER6Nk27-u3PuMt/s400/potato2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr1yydEAUrRfAQ2B_zqZu9wbV_46V1gH1KfoB23MEERbV1Mj7Tp-X2n48bVmrH6xdfJ4ZyU4gxeJkYiaLTA_PEEMC46NVuLCuOfNRFnH5XYAQ-W5Bn7pypn0OqayGSMcsfmF1vWGIj5DNj/s1600/potato1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600048478309429410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr1yydEAUrRfAQ2B_zqZu9wbV_46V1gH1KfoB23MEERbV1Mj7Tp-X2n48bVmrH6xdfJ4ZyU4gxeJkYiaLTA_PEEMC46NVuLCuOfNRFnH5XYAQ-W5Bn7pypn0OqayGSMcsfmF1vWGIj5DNj/s400/potato1.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div>SuburbanGardenerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03331266937322487617noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316147348979184321.post-80065877523523286052009-09-16T22:17:00.000-07:002009-09-16T22:25:56.006-07:00Cucumbers TodayHowdy. Well we are just thrilled about gardening. The cucumber plant keeps putting out cukes even though it had a rough spell with the heat wave. Picked these today. That makes about 52 this year from just one plant. The container bush cucumber plants died early, but this straight eight keeps on growing and flowering.

Wow. It took three bags to haul them in the house. We counted the batch here one time and it turned out to be exactly 100. Some of the tiny ones we do not count, but it is stunning to have so many in one day. We have been sharing, and tomorrow sounds like another good day to share. Happy Gardening from Our Suburban Garden.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT64cIug1mbNv-tHyLFc3RK_Pj5xvczyiZyVFdG1nuqTFBB7XEvX_2U8iEYCOXmjZPMo0yY_MSzZ5kmhhPGhBEdxLRGFYh4wfAOzFaAf_foglyCEsPKcHdA-yRj_xxvmEFvGRbNLCHWjSx/s1600-h/2009-Sep09-Tomato-1-468x298.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379700900032555346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 255px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT64cIug1mbNv-tHyLFc3RK_Pj5xvczyiZyVFdG1nuqTFBB7XEvX_2U8iEYCOXmjZPMo0yY_MSzZ5kmhhPGhBEdxLRGFYh4wfAOzFaAf_foglyCEsPKcHdA-yRj_xxvmEFvGRbNLCHWjSx/s400/2009-Sep09-Tomato-1-468x298.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>SuburbanGardenerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03331266937322487617noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316147348979184321.post-74909491386620037632009-09-01T20:12:00.000-07:002009-09-01T20:19:22.545-07:00Tomato TuesdayToday was a big tomato day. 36 picked and 300 year to date all together. Wow!! Mortgage lifters in front of the blogging machine. Japanese black trifle on top of the keyboard. Volunteer tomatoes on the right side in front of one sad looking cucumber. My opinion: mortgage lifters are huge, tasty and shaped weirdly. Black trifles are a little disappointing in the size and low output, but we'll happily take what we get. This is one of those days when the picking basket just isn't big enough.

The onions completely wilted so we thought we would clear the area. Wah Bam, now we have onions a plenty. For now anyway. In the background are our flowering potatoes. In all our months of potato gardening, these are the first flowers we have gotten. These days of plentiful fresh home grown veggies are so rewarding. Have a happy gardening day.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370683218460806994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 290px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaDwJJvbE2DhR9sgL4gvH1Qs2Ak8NchmdVk_KhSpVrED9IWCmfaqfCIUs_6nE4gZ96JYN_VJzRW3N4zkzifZOSFFYTUoRp5PmuebGAbkMibpaD-JWZcIv0aT7F8pKObqPw0gUMVeh7vwXC/s400/2009-Aug16-Onion-1-438x318.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div></div>SuburbanGardenerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03331266937322487617noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316147348979184321.post-84601896504946667242009-08-11T02:01:00.000-07:002009-08-16T15:16:37.026-07:00Fantasy GardenWe had to travel to the Garden Island this week and today came upon a fantasy garden.

There's a sidewalk along the fence, so our suburban walkers will have easy pickins without stepping a foot on our land. Have not been posting much due to more out of state travel.

We try to plant 1 potato every 3 days. The idea is to have the harvest to stretch out over a longer period of time. If we can harvest 1 container each week it would be awesome. There's another 40 seed potatoes so we'll run out of containers before long I hope.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrhVH-A1L16NsQ_hDPXJCOn0wOca3zjnJ7XqgKJ0gQPWY6fed3qJp_BCd5AAZ98JL4YLJAbopRcqlTGfzWYqM_4umfapdDBjGtueeevimqMFYf4F4rAWKkO0RZ1ITAgC6jpWanBtEKpSoT/s1600-h/2009-Jul28-Pomato-1-438x232.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363687443570412162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 212px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrhVH-A1L16NsQ_hDPXJCOn0wOca3zjnJ7XqgKJ0gQPWY6fed3qJp_BCd5AAZ98JL4YLJAbopRcqlTGfzWYqM_4umfapdDBjGtueeevimqMFYf4F4rAWKkO0RZ1ITAgC6jpWanBtEKpSoT/s400/2009-Jul28-Pomato-1-438x232.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>SuburbanGardenerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03331266937322487617noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316147348979184321.post-59105780845679882452009-07-27T17:59:00.000-07:002009-08-16T15:15:12.829-07:00Tons of TomatoesEach of the 5 tomato plants in Our Suburban Garden is full sized and ready to bear fruit. Here is a photo from the Early Girl plant. I wonder what is going to happen in August. So far 98 percent of our tomatoes have come from the volunteer plant. The volunteer plant must have at least 80 more green tomatoes right now. Pretty soon the other plants will begin to produce. We already picked 80 tomatoes. Once August hits, how many tomatoes will we get? Can not imagine having so many tomatoes. Can anyone say tomato juice? <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaRRBX7uvA9_-rwlxbR-28OFjMUzYvTB7q8TCsXNQaXDkAs8gCD-V-HL1LBvOPJ3kUz61zCrga2RwUaWWjy36FgmNmwfn0Dkudno4RfxKArRyU_H9xczkJrkiilF8q6LLFK8fYeZjoZBwZ/s1600-h/2009-Jul27-Tomato-1-438x300.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363309543919676882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 274px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaRRBX7uvA9_-rwlxbR-28OFjMUzYvTB7q8TCsXNQaXDkAs8gCD-V-HL1LBvOPJ3kUz61zCrga2RwUaWWjy36FgmNmwfn0Dkudno4RfxKArRyU_H9xczkJrkiilF8q6LLFK8fYeZjoZBwZ/s400/2009-Jul27-Tomato-1-438x300.JPG" border="0" /></a>SuburbanGardenerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03331266937322487617noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316147348979184321.post-53569979204247084452009-07-23T21:21:00.000-07:002009-08-16T15:14:59.229-07:00Watermelon SpottedToday Lil Bro and Dad spotted the first watermelon. It is so tiny. We look forward to watching it grow "as big as a Magna Guard star fighter." Maybe it will grow as big as R2D2.

It is very exciting to see what happens to some little watermelon seeds when you add water, soil and sunshine. Pretty cool huh?<br /><br /><div></div><div>Happy Gardening from Our Suburban Garden.</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxZ0gr_IhXBLqRbts8EVmw3X0ntubFeJEiEdW4Tv7KOCGevQWd-bZfc932vT_I4U4FoB3u3ejEtP7IopIpJKhO-Nh9vBRHWSEC8XH_n0bfTav2YZOACxZ9jFsJWgY2zr2zloyvo0pDhvpJ/s1600-h/2009-Jul23-Watermelon-1-438x402.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361877372611715970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 367px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxZ0gr_IhXBLqRbts8EVmw3X0ntubFeJEiEdW4Tv7KOCGevQWd-bZfc932vT_I4U4FoB3u3ejEtP7IopIpJKhO-Nh9vBRHWSEC8XH_n0bfTav2YZOACxZ9jFsJWgY2zr2zloyvo0pDhvpJ/s400/2009-Jul23-Watermelon-1-438x402.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>SuburbanGardenerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03331266937322487617noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316147348979184321.post-84502159238369793462009-07-20T19:30:00.000-07:002009-08-16T15:14:47.797-07:00Volunteer Tomato Covers WindowBack in May we put in the bigger better tomato cage. Turns out it was not big enough after all. The 7 foot tall tomato plant here is the same one shown on the top of the blog growing amongst the carrots. A photo from May is below. Wow!!! You can also see the rapid growth of the straight 8 cucumber plant to the right. Pretty soon we will get the first taste of those cukes!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwYlcWs2Rg7zL9b1fXmCUw7Mi05VicMtU9LCEpGQpESawncPk6jq9wBQkEiCujmO2BPgrifhA1tSomLSJzcSxjTZ3Xn4lrkcCamgxhqXyIEmZhJ-nOzixzFr-W5qjbB_lk7FsAaEaudtEV/s1600-h/2009-July21-Tomato-1-438x468.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360735302343186258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 374px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwYlcWs2Rg7zL9b1fXmCUw7Mi05VicMtU9LCEpGQpESawncPk6jq9wBQkEiCujmO2BPgrifhA1tSomLSJzcSxjTZ3Xn4lrkcCamgxhqXyIEmZhJ-nOzixzFr-W5qjbB_lk7FsAaEaudtEV/s400/2009-July21-Tomato-1-438x468.jpg" border="0" /></a>Below is the same plant from May 9th.

Each mile closer to home made us more eager to see Our Suburban Garden. Finally we surveyed the plants. Seems it was a bit hotter than expected and the irrigation system did not quite keep up with the heat. Our bush cucumbers were the hardest hit. Look at those brown leaves. Let's try to baby these guys back to life. It's good to be back in the garden!!!<br /><div></div>SuburbanGardenerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03331266937322487617noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316147348979184321.post-23514579105725622572009-07-14T21:02:00.000-07:002009-08-16T15:13:41.653-07:00Suburban Container GardenThe double decker green bean patch at the end is flanked by the bush cucumbers and the potato ranch is beginning to take shape again. We got the containers hooked up to the drip sprinkler system. Originally we put the sprinkler pipes in for flowers, but guess what? No flowers, just veggies. Pretty soon we'll plant more and expand the garden. Gardening is good!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4pOeWMuyeDeSJa7ETLWgP2kC-hZTsJp230vVQzoFPOaZwfzUQx2L80MX2jr3t3KjZBs1m4fPqHDw8BsLA6VWzqVp1Eq7CNOsy7ehqeVyvNHh7fYNqyBs_ELpeg0prgK4rROnWuWlwW5Zs/s1600-h/2009-July05-Containers-1-438x422.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358532480231631266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 385px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4pOeWMuyeDeSJa7ETLWgP2kC-hZTsJp230vVQzoFPOaZwfzUQx2L80MX2jr3t3KjZBs1m4fPqHDw8BsLA6VWzqVp1Eq7CNOsy7ehqeVyvNHh7fYNqyBs_ELpeg0prgK4rROnWuWlwW5Zs/s400/2009-July05-Containers-1-438x422.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>SuburbanGardenerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03331266937322487617noreply@blogger.com3
