Garden

[Icegoddess]

I have harvested my first ever cucumber and it was grown in a container.  I grew a variety called Spacemaster that specifically states that it is good for containers.  The only place in my yard that gets sun is in the front, so I have it kinda hidden in the back of my pollinator flower garden I put there.  I also have a dwarf okra and patio eggplant plants in containers flanking my front door steps.  I planted some draping plants in the okra containers to kinda hide the fact that I'm growing veggies at the entrance to my house.

Looks great! Nothing better than homegrown veggies!

@Icegoddess  That’s a very nice looking cucumber.

Congrats!!!! 

Feel your joy and pride. Almost like a new baby.

My Dad used to have a vegetable garden.

Your photo made me smile as it brought back fond memories..

Excellent job. I got my first green pepper. Still waiting on tomatoes.

I live in the southern part of NC and planted my first patio garden this year. I used to have a huge garden when I lived in Rochester NY.  

Planted late...haven't gotten any ripe tomatoes, but have picked a few eggplants, mini-green peppers, and some squash. 

I really like the smell of the tomato plants better than the taste of the tomatoes. LOL 

Hope you enjoy your veggies !!!!!

@Icegoddess .... Oh it's a beauty! Isn't it delightful to get your first harvest?

I cut my first one today, too! I have mine growing in a Kiddie Pool garden on my deck.

@Tabbycat, mine just became Cucumber Salad.  Already another in the fridge and one on the plant that looks ready to harvest.  My personal bumblebee was working hard pollinating those flowers when I was out checking on things morning.  Hopefully, he is also finding my patio eggplants since they are blooming too.
