2017 Muddy Bucket Farm Update

[ContainerTed]

I've been held up by a number of issues from health to weather. But, I've finally got a few things to show, even though we're about a month behind. Took these pictures this morning.

Here's a few of the containers we've generated. I'm using last year's wood chips as a mulch this time around.

I also have put out 10 straw bales with two plants each. That container is a Big Boy and it has about a dozen fruit set on it.

Our oldest apple tree is loaded up and the fruits are about 3 inches in diameter as of today.

My old compost pile has half a dozen volunteers in it. I just let them come on if they can.

Planted some red cabbages as well as the usual green cabbages this year.

I've never had a Dwarf Project plant do this before. I can't wait to see where this goes. Yes, that's a mega-bloom among the other blooms on top of that stalk.

One of my bell pepper plants got an early start.

I also have some jalapenos blooming their butts off.

The Blue Lake beans are flowering and setting beans. Most years we have already harvested and pulled the vines by this time.

I've got about 90 tomato plants in the main garden, and some are setting lots of fruit.

I'm a month behind my normal flow, but I've still got a lot of time to get the harvest flowing in.
