jjannie's 2020 gardening

[jjannie]

Wow, that really looks great. I haven't tried any of our carrots but it sounds like yours are doing good. Can't say I've ever heard of pollinating plants by using fans but I guess it's possible, hope it works out for you. With our GH in Idaho we just open the doors during the day and the bees come in and do their thing.

 your GH is way bigger than ours does it also have doors on both ends?  Our air feels very still in ours so we're hoping the fan will help. It sure makes it more comfy to be in there if nothing else. Forgot to mention we harvested all our first peas/pods as they were not flowering anymore the other day, and we've reseeded them for second crop. We just might get 3 crops this year since we can roll them into the garage if its going to hard frost. We also harvested the GH radishes so we'll be planting another batch of them.

Yes, the Idaho GH has doors on both ends. Because the bees got such a slow start on pollinating the veg there in Idaho, the kids are thinking about starting there own bee hives next year. I'm not sure how that will work out but it sounds like a plan, guess we will have to wait a see. Wow, that is pretty crazy you are already starting another crop of pods, are they the same as snow pea pods, I posted pics of earlier in the week?

yes they are either snow peas or sugar snap peas, just can't remember which. We did start them really early riling them in and out. Look what we picked yesterday. Jeff wanted me to see all finger sized cukes that have set so while looking I found this one he hadn't seen - we were both shocked. It was likely our first one we saw a few weeks ago that we feared had maybe dropped off, LOL It was a very pleasant surprise that's for sure. Between the bales and GH we're going to have a LOT of them. Making a cuke, onion and tomato salad today.
