The EarthTainer "Farm" Update - June 1 - "Clean and Green"

rnewste · June 1, 2012

Haven't used that phrase since my CB days of 30 years ago.

So far this (early) Season, not a yellow leaf in sight. I attribute that to both the addition of 1/2 cup Bat Guano into the EarthTainer Combo Mix when planting, as well as periodic spraying of Daconil.

Barlow Jap............................................... ....Gary'O Sena
These two plants, put in 62 days ago are now reaching over their 76 inch tall cage system. Will have to start topping them in a couple of weeks.

Both Tastywine and Caitydid have set numerous fruit. Thick stocky stems.

Big Bertha and Colossal Peppers are now topping their cage:

Nice sized fruit on the Colossal plant today:

This is the earliest I've ever had Peppers.

The Gotta-Have-It sweetcorn has gone crazy over the past 2 weeks, more than doubling in height:

Silks are now developing and I have started hand pollination as an assist:

The second batch of corn planted at 3 week intervals is developing nicely:

And the Sweet Success cukes have more than doubled in size over the past 2 weeks:

So, barring the onset of Locusts or other plagues, this Season is off to a promising start.
