Bell pepper Harvest

 

Some of the Bell peppers were ready to be harvested, will cook with them in the future. They look pretty good to eat.

Green Bean Progress

Green Beans beginning to grow and pop up, insects all around the plants, however they are still progressing and growing.

Week of Nov. 27th

This week we focused on monitoring the status of our plot. We also had our first harvest! We will continue to monitor the progress of our crops as the semester comes to a close.

Strawberry fruits have formed. 

Our sunflowers are turning brown. Are they maturing towards seeding or is it something else? We will continue to make observations. 

We have a visitor pollinating our peppers. Bees are definitely welcomed guests.

Bell peppers are looking ready for harvest. 

We are starting to see some of our 'Lunchbox' peppers. I wonder what colors they will be.

Davis is harvesting some bell peppers.

Hmm.... something doesn't look right. This carrot was transplanted in and may have suffered permanent root damage. We'll know more once some of our direct seeded carrots appear big enough for harvest.

Thanksgiving break progress

This week we pulled some more weeds from our plot, and over Thanksgiving we applied the rest of the fertiliser and added compost on top. We have seen a lot of progress this week with our tomatoes, bell peppers, sweet peppers, and green beans.

Our tomatoes plants have green tomatoes
growing on them now.

A flower has appeared on our green beans.

We are also seeing progress on our sweet peppers.

Our bell peppers have grown too!

Solving Bolting Issues

Yesterday we pulled up the lettuce on the bottom because of the bolts that were coming up. After pulling it up we planted the celery transplants that we had been growing in the green house (depicted on top). Hopefully the celery will thrive as the weather becomes cooler.

Tomatos tied down

Support was needed for the Tomato plants before fruiting, tied some of the stems down with string to a stake

Carrot progress

A few of our 'Caracas' carrots appear to be almost ready for harvesting!
