Beautiful garden, where do you live? My sfg is just a month old. North Carolina

I'm in FL so my gardening time will be ending here very soon. Well, for the things that I really want to plant that is LOL.

Everything looks great :)

As for the cabbage, it is most likely the Cabbage Moth, or it's larvae. If you look REALLY close I bet you will find tiny green (same color as the leaf) worms on your cabbage.

The moth who leaves the worms is White, with a black dot on the wing (you can't always see the black dot) - if you see it flying around, that's what you have.

As far as getting rid of it - two options - 1) Row Cover - or 2) BT - BT is completely safe to eat as it's not toxic to humans, but it will kill the worms when the eat it.

Again, beautiful garden and I'm jealous!! It'll be months before any of that stuff is mature in my garden.

Yes, but in months when yours is all lush and green mine will have nothing, except maybe a few sprouts starting for fall. Then I'll be jealous!! :)

Gorgeous.

Where do you have your sunflowers planted. My youngest dd wants a sunflower garden.

I am in NC too and my garden is only 1 month old.

Cannot wait to start picking stuff. I planted mostly everything from seed. here's my list:

- Okra (2 kinds)
- Eggplant (black beauty)

- Spinach (2 kind)
- Broccoli (2 kind)

I have nt planted but want to:
-White potatos
-Red potatoes
- Carrots (2 kind, one has a red center)
- Garlic
- Cabbage

Potatoes I will plant soon, but the rest may have to wait until a fall planting around August/September.

Wow, what a beautiful picture of the sunflower!

I love how you utilized the holes in the blocks for herbs. I'm concerned about some of mine spreading further than I want them to go, and your layout would prevent that from happening. I must remember the idea for next year.

That sunflower shot IS amazing!

Choxie,
The sunflowers are planted to the right of the potato patch that is in the cinderblocks. It has 2 sugar baby watermelon and a bunch of sunflowers of different types in it. It's at the north side of the garden. Your list looks great! It will be so fun for you to harvest all of those yummy veggies!

Peel, If you use the blocks make your bed smaller or you won't be able to reach the middle! :)

Are you speaking from experience? :D

crystabel - that sunflower photo is very good! Also, your zucchini plant is huge!

Crystabel I really liked your garden pics. Here are a few pics from my garden:

Corn

Box 1 (tom, bush beans, kohl rabi, lettuce)

Box 1 (broccoli, spinach, bell pepper, nasturtium, marigold, lettuce, tom)

Box 2 (lettuces, bush beans, peas, carrots, onions, radishes)

Cukes

Box 3 (broccoli, carrots, spinach, onions, toms, nasturtium, marigolds)

Marigold just opened this morning

tomato - either the jelly bean or the beefmaster

Those are some great pics daves_girl! Love that marigold that just opened :) . Thanks so much for sharing them. I love pics!! And your corn, it looks so healthy, I'm jealous!

Peel - LOL, no my brain was actually working that day that I made that bed and I was able to put 2 & 2 together to realize those things added an extra 8" to each side :) . However, I can be flighty and wouldn't put it past me to mess things up - like using my back wall as one end of my herb garden and now I have to try to reach 3' back to it LOL.

EG - Seriously, can you believe that monstrous plant! And it's still growing. LOL.

daves girl - nice pics!

crystabel - they get unbelievably large, and I've got three planted in a 4ft x 6ft area. Should be interesting!
