Hello Earth Shepard's! Waiting patiently for some harvests to come in. So far I've been plucking away at my lemon trees to make lemonade (tried wine, but for health sake I'm sticking to lemonade) until everyone else catch up.

Invitees are: Blackberry (x2), Peach (x2), Raspberry(x2), Boysenberry(x3), Blueberry(x1), Strawberry (pulled a few and they're good, x8), Summer Crisp lettuce (still producing and tasty,x6), Tomatoes (Roma and Black Krim,x10), Apple (x1) Bell Peppers(x12) and Zucchini(x2).

As you can see, bell peppers and tomatoes make up a large part of my garden. I'm shifting more to a perrenial grow instead of annuals (peppers here are perrenials) hence the large amount of peppers. In hindsight, I should had bought more Blueberry bushes and at least another tray of strawberry starters.

Besides the strawberries and the trees, everything else has been grown from seed. Pictures are just a minor snippet of what's growing in my backyard.

You're waiting for harvests to come in, I'm still waiting to be able to put my sprouts outside.

Oh cheese, I feel ya. I was like that late fall and throughout winter due to my grow tent not just getting how enough to transplant/Jumpstart a few varieties.

By the time I bought a small grow tent heater, the weather began to get warmer. What do you plan on sprouting?

Tomatoes! I hardly use them quick enough when I buy them, so when they're still on the vine I can leave them a little longer before picking. It also pushes me to use them more. I'd grow more but I'm in an apartment in the city, so everything is in pots.

Ah, try canning your excess? I plan on making some pasta sauce for any extra left over. Have you looked into growing vertically?
