LETS SEE WHAT YOU GROW

[bigred]

Someone asked me to post pictures of my garden and some of the stuff that I grow. I dont grow anything to fancy, just the normal garden stuff mainly for my tortoises to eat. If you would like to post pictures of whatever you grow such as fruits, veggies, cactus, succulents,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Feel free to post whatever you want. Im going to start it out with a couple pics because I need to take more pictures when the sun goes down a bit. Its 90+ degrees here today and to bright to take good pics right now. I know some of the members are buried in snow right now and havent got a chance to get started gardening. The first picture is of some yellow Zuccini that has already reached 12 inches

I don' t grow veggies and such---here the gophers demolish anything that is not native...so I simply put the sprinkler out where I want growth of natural vegetation and filaree, bunch grass, apricot mallow, black medic, coyote mint, primrose and the like will pop up...and these munch spots are supplemented by trips to the health store for organic lettuces, mushroom, veggies and some fruit for the redfoot torts...

I guess Im going to have to drop a couple more wild cats at your house to take care of them gophers

 

[N2TORTS]

LOL .....Heck I was just trying to put together a list ...

<heh>

These are the grape vines that have really taken off in the last couple months. They are a great food source and good shade and shelter for the redfoots corner

That grapevine looks great! Was it hard to get started?

My herbs and flowers are looking really sad. It's been in the 60's-70's and rainy so I didn't have to water for a while. Then last 2 days have been 89 degrees and I didn't have time to water so they've wilted. Today is back to 70, so hopefully the not as hot and watering helps them not die..

Yeah, I went overboard just a bit. Doesn't help that there are 1000-5000 seeds in a packet. TerryO said she thought she was a plant hoarder and had a good laugh at my pics. I haven't even included pics of the garden beds or the kitchen window sill. All go to a good cause: my torts!

 

[Jacqui]

Having plant envy. To tell you where we are in the season this week the mulberry trees and the grape leaves finally started opening up. With still having frost nights, tomatoes and peppers for example are still living under plastic domes from milk, pop, ect.., Squashes and cucs are still seed stage. Give me a couple of weks to catch up.

I grow squash (for the leaves), nasturtiums, hibiscus, prickly pear, Christmas cactus and aloe Vera. My yard is so trashed out with weeds I'm too embarrassed (and lazy) to put up photos! Even before I got my tortoise I already had tort-friendly plants just by happy coincidence: asparagus fern, Boston fern, Swedish ivy, petunias and Antique roses. Of all the plants I have, her current favorite is a weed: sow thistle, which I cannot take credit for planting- it just volunteered, but I'm saving seed for the winter. Sow thistle, BTW, I found out is edible for humans, but haven't tasted it yet!

The vine has been here for several years and has really taken off this year. Not hard at all

My yard has some pretty high weeds to, my excuse for that is that the torts like to hide in it

Very nice, I see you guys have corn. I grew corn a few years ago and it was alot of fun. Tell hubby nice work, you should have some good tort food this summer

Cilantro that grows every year in the same spot at my moms house in this tire. The cilantro flowers and drops seeds for the next year. More Yellow butternut squash, the torts like it. We also grow everything to make fresh salsa, Jalepenos, Serano chiles, red onions

This cactus was hiding behind the tomatoe plants so I didnt even notice it blooming. The cactus looks much nicer than the picture, the blooms are bright yellow
