I planted 2 more containers in my front yard today: The round pot has a Christmas Grape Tomato plant, and a Yellow Pear-shaped tomato plant. Both give small cherries so should be great for the container…assuming they survive our daily thunderstorms. The other long, short, rectangular container is half planted with sage and the other half is thyme. As these two are perennials I’ll bring them inside to the garden room when the cold season comes along.
So this brings the front yard inventory to:
1-3ft box of white cucumbers (direct seeded, June 15th, sprouts appeared June 21st)
1-3ft box of straight eight, and long green cucumbers (transplants from in the house)
1-3ft box of Tiny Tim tomatoes (transplants from in the house)
1 Big round pot containing 3 Beefsteak Tomatoes (transplants from in the house; I think big beef, hybrid, indeterminate types, though without running outside to check I’m not sure…will check later)
1-3ft box of Thyme and Sage
It occurs to me I completely forgot to post the pictures & planting report from the first day I planted things in my front yard! I planted them on June 15th and had them in the shade sheltered on 3 sides from the wind, which was a good thing since we had some nasty storms. In fact I left one of the cucumbers too close to the edge of the roof and the eaves trough overflowed during one of the storms and dumped right into that unfortunate box! It washed out 1/3 of the soil, left the perlite and the plants and looked quite a mess. So, I put more soil mix into it and gently washed all the dirt off the plants and re-staked them too so they look much better now. We’ll see if they survive that!
I also found some plastic lattice I scavenged from the recycle bin area in our complex so am using that tied to our front fence as trellising for the cucmbers to climb up. I’m also using 2 ft bamboo stakes to get the cucumbers started towards the trellis. The Beefsteak tomatoes have a 2×2″ stake in the middle of their pot with stucco wire wrapped round it and attached to the fence. I’m going to try to grow them up and then sideways, to see how that works using the fence to support part of the plants, and then grow them along the top of the fence. The other 2 vining tomato plants have 2 u-shaped bamboo stakes to twine along. Finally the Tiny Tims merely have straight 2ft bamboo stakes to climb.
Here are some pictures from the first day the Tiny Tims and Beefsteaks were out on the 15th:
