Garden Update: July 5, 2010

Posted on July 5, 2010 by Brian Gallimore

I need to start thinking about what fall crops to plant, it is time to get seedlings started already. My tomato plants have been a big disappointment again this year. I’ll probably buy several seedlings from a nursery to see if they will do better now that the bugs and early blight disease is not a threat. The peppers are taking off and doing great. I have a cross-pollination issue this year, so my sweet peppers are HOT. I have two watermelons developing, and created burlap supports for them. Lots of cantaloupe are near-ripe. The corn, potatoes, garlic, and carrot have been harvested now so I need something else to plant in those locations.
