Gardening has been kinda limited this summer but I am growing a few things and I plan to add more. Here's a few of the edibles - and one house plant.
The voodoo Lily corm. I potted it up today so I'll be posting more photos when it comes up. The corm has 3-4 small healthy stems starting so it should be okay.
This is called a Blue Java banana plant. There's so many people and small cafes growing bananas here that I was able to buy one locally. It really helps since I can get fast replacement pups if anything goes wrong with this one. The second photo is the new leaf. The plant is as tall as a shovel (about 3 feet).
Btw, all these photos in this thread were shot yesterday. I planted the banana before sunset.
The Brandywine, Beefmaster, and Cherry tomatoes are about a foot taller than the shovel so about 4 feet tall. They're loaded with blooms and small green tomatoes!
Nothing ripe yet but there should be ripe tomatoes soon! Here's some of the blooms.

And here's some of the Cherry toms!
And this is either a Beefmaster or a Brandywine. Dunno which but there's so many, I know both types have tomatoes starting!
Now the peppers! I wanted close shots of those so I did the whole layout in 3 photos (far-left, middle, and far-right). I've also added a chart I made about 3 weeks ago to show what each row is. Since we got massively overloaded with tomatoes last summer, I didn't plant as many peppers.
Somehow I think we'll get massively overloaded anyway, lol!
You can see that the Jalapenos are struggling to survive but they are making a comeback. I'm not sure what happened to them.
Btw, I hope to be adding Ghost peppers (Bhut Jolokia) and Trinidad Scorpions soon!
And finally the Apache blackberries. They're huge, have lots of flavor, but not very sweet. But a little added sugar and they are awesome! We got a huge harvest this spring and I wish I'd taken photos because now all that's left are a few small strays. But the plants are more than a shovel tall (about 4 feet)
I'll be adding more photos in other threads later. I plan on having a huge collection of projects this year!
