A vegetable garden in summer.

Watching this Garden GrowA John Denver Song comes to mind when I see how my garden has grown.

A ziplop bag of string beans, ready for the freezer.

Measuring a 5 Gallon Bucket of String BeansThis morning, I picked a 5 gallon bucket full of string beans. I was wondering how many packages I would get to freeze. After blanching, it measured to be 28 cups of cut string beans, which would be 7 quarts.

Green beans that have ripened entirely.

Using Tough Overgrown Green BeansIf you have left any green beans too long on the plant, they will be too tough to eat. However, they need not go to waste. You can remove the beans from the pods and boil and eat them on their own. You can save a few to grow next year.

A potted vegetable next to the root end of a celery bunch.

Regrow Vegetables on Your WindowsillMake your vegetables go further by re-growing them. The trimmings of certain vegetables will grow again if you put them in a pot of compost, place them on your windowsill and keep them watered. The photo shows celery leaves grown from the base of a bunch of celery.

A dish of green onion roots, with green growing out of the cut end.

Growing Green Onions from Leftover ScrapsDon't toss your green onion scraps away, you can easily grow more! Soak your scraps in water. Once you see your green onion growing a little, transfer into a mason jar allowing the green onions to grow straight up, make sure the roots are in downward position.

Questions

Indoor Roma Tomatoes Not FloweringI started a project at work growing Roma tomatoes from seeds. I transferred them into buckets (sand buckets like for the beach) they are now really tall, but not flowering. They face south so they have direct sun for 7 hours a day. I planted the seeds in April. Am I doing something wrong?

Patio Tomato Not BloomingI bought a patio tomato plant for a large container on my porch. It had 1 small tomato on it when I got it, but has never had any other blossoms nor has it gotten much bigger. Otherwise the plant is healthy, no bugs, and I am not overfeeding it. I have grown tomatoes for years and never had this problem.

Tomato Plants Don't Have a Lot of FlowersMy tomato plants are not flowering much. What am I doing wrong? I usually have no problem. I planted Big Boy using Osmocote and water as needed plenty of sun.

Haworthia Bloom Failing - bent bloom stalk

Haworthia Bloom FailingI've had my haworthia for I think two maybe three years now and this year it decided it would bloom for the first time.

Summer Squash Not Growing LargeThis summer my zucchini and yellow crookneck squash plants are thriving and producing tons of tiny fruit, but the fruit is not growing and developing like it should. The fruit gets to 4-6" long and seems to quit growing. I fertilize regularly and water daily.

Tomato Plants Not Setting FruitThere are small, fuzzy flowers that have developed all over my large tomato plant, but they are not turning into fruit. In all my years of tomato growing I have never seen this before!
