Dragon Tongue beans are a great bush bean variety to grow, these kind of beans are high yield crops.
To grow Dragon Tongue beans successfully, bean plants should have evenly moist soil at all times. Water lightly at planting, medium at flowering, and heavily throughout harvest time!
Check out my nasturtium, it is Fucking Huge (and just got its first flower)
And here, I took a few more pics of my little garden/patio (ignore the weird stroller thing, it is someone else's shit and has been sitting there ever since I fucking moved here🙄)
Oh right and I got a fuckin. decoy owl in an attempt to deter whatever the fuck is digging holes in all my dirt. It has been working so far! But I've only had it for like.. 2 days so we shall see. Anyway I have a lot more shit than last year but I kinda wanna keep getting more lol. Just. Buckets 'o plants fuckin everywhere>:3c
They are underneath our deck, so they get afternoon sun, then it is all indirect light.
Some of them I had for a few years, you can see a few ferns, the amazing spider plant expansion with cuttings only! Many of the succulents too, have grown over the years. 💚
Like the Boston fern on the right side. I rotated her to grow new leaves, but damn look at the size change. I got her in a 6 inches pot back in 2017 and placed her in a dark room... Yeah, that didn't go well and she was dying on me, so I ran for her life and repotted her in this pot and placed her on our side yard at our previous house, covered by trees. She loved it there and regrew beautifully.
Then she moved with us to our current home. I had to put her on the back of my pickup truck, wrap her in beach towels and locked her with bungee cords and drove on the freeway for about 1hr.
She is strong and I love her so much! 💚
That's me, enjoying my morning coffee with my husband and appreciating all of these plants!
Not a big update but here's some pics of what's going on in the back right now
All that vining is sweet potato vines! This was started as an experiment that's gone really well! We've been picking and eating the leaves. Between human consumption and bird consumption So I'd say there's been somewere between 5-13 lbs of leaves and vines consumed. Even if we don't get any tubers this was worth the time space and material it took to try it out. Plus the leaves have a kind of spinach like taste/texture when cooked so it's a double win for us.
The asparagus growing with the sweet potato. In honesty we thought this died during the summer heat so I was very happy to find it growing! ♥️
Side view showing the trellis the sweet potato vines are growing up and over on
And some Moringa trees with a little shot of a background project that will be revealed in the future.
I've been sharing on my IG my ever-growing garden this year, but since rekindling my presence on here, I'd like to share my recent pics!
I love growing sustainable plants like herbs and edible flowers, but this year I took a stab at growing huckleberries, and they've just taken off! I grew them all from seed and have been nurturing them since March. 💜 I have just about enough to make a small batch of huckleberry preserves, which I've never even done as a process!
I also have 2 kinds of basil (lettuce leaf & purple), dill, snapdragon flowers, chamomile, 2 kinds of tomatoes (black cherry & true beefsteak heirloom), tarragon, sage (broadleaf), thyme (German), borage, spearmint, catnip, and carrots (danver). Out front is just a patch of wildflower mix I have for our local pollinators, too. 😊
I have so many more pics on my IG since I've been a proud plant mom since before spring even sprung. I wish I could garden all year 'round, but the Midwest is not kind. 😭
In order to grow great tomato plants without deficiencies or diseases, it’s important to plant and grow them correctly. You need to give your tomato plants the best possible environment to grow by implementing companion planting in your vegetable garden.
