Quick Update

For those keeping score, this is just a quick garden update.

Pumpkins! 

Yes, I know Halloween is over, but that doesn't mean pumpkins have to be. I planted some in a "hill" in one of the tubs. Two plants came up, but now I can't tell which is which, or if they've just grown together, lol. Here's the plant with two blossoms on it. Note the leaves looking weird - no idea what that's about. I need to look that up, I know.

Now look at this. It killed me, but I did it. I read that you need to cut off all but one blossom from your pumpkin vine (in enclosed spaces like mine) so that the pumpkin would actually grow. (I think that may have been part of the watermelon problem.) So I did it. Cut off three potentially nice blossoms that you see here. Yes, I left two instead of one, but one wasn't looking all that good, so I figured I'd give them both a little more time and see which one looked like it might make it. *sigh*

And Beans!

I planted a bunch of these this year, and they are bush beans and not pole beans. Less than half the seeds have come up. But the ones that have, look like this. See? All covered in blossoms that will hopefully all turn into beans, lol. Again, not a ton of them, to have to freeze or anything. But if I can get my lazy butt out there this weekend, I might plant some more and see what happens. 


So not a lot, but there is some garden news.
