Beans

Planted Garden beans today, two rows of them.

Corn

Planted two rows of them today (earlier to mature at 167 days). 

Will plant two more rows of the other variety which matures in 174 days.

Potatoes

I push the dirt over the potato seeds as I walk

On the opposite end is my son doing the same thing
Much of the potatoes we planted 5/28 rotted after being drowned in rainwater.  We had to replant. It's a good thing we still had a bag of potatoes from last year that we were able to use as seeds. We ended up with total of 4 and 2/3 rows.

Japanese Eggplants

I transplanted my miniature seedlings out about last week. I keep checking out Walmart if they are selling the seedlings, just like last year, and that was where I got mine. No luck.

Then yesterday we went to Home Depot and I found big seedlings of the same, as in BIG with some flowers already. $5.99 each. I got 5 plants. Hopefully will have the first fruits by July. They freeze well after blanching.

I transplanted them today, 6/16/2012.
Place the biodegradable pot in a hole



Pack the dirt around

Done transplanting 5 eggplant seedlings.
Don't forget to water to eliminate air pockets around the roots.

Cucumbers - Spacemaster

Planted them today, 6/16/2012.

We will plant the other variety two weeks after.

Sitaw, ampalaya

Yesterday I planted the ampalaya seedlings and sitaw seeds along the side of the pool. 

Today I will plant another packet of the sitaw the rest of the pool side.

Second week of June

I planted the sayote directly to the soil. Then the ubi. I also transplanted seedlings started indoors a week ago that consisted of upo (burpee and Thailand from ebay) and eggplants (Japan ichiban purple and thai long purple). 

I also planted indoors seeds of malunggay and upo (thai).

First week of June

We planted potatoes and onions, then transplanted cabbage, broccoli, peppers, tomatoes.

Malunggay and upo

planted seeds indoors. Hopefully will germinate. It is still cold outside and it keeps raining.

Update 6/16/2012
Transplanted malunggay and upo out in the veggie garden.

Update  6/18 - Upo shoots are dying, maybe due to cold nights. Sigh!
