We planted approximately 60 or so plants. A number of varieties but none new this year. The weather has been a bit odd so we&#8217;ll see how many actual ripe tomatoes we actually harvest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, for the first time in many, many years I am trying to get a second round of plants in the garden. Our growing season here is so long that, if timed carefully, you can plant a second set of almost everything after the worst of the summer heat passes. Previous years have found me with not enough time to get the seeds started and then succession plant. This year we started the garden so late we have empty space to plant. I&#8217;ve started cucumber, melon, more zucchini, more winter squash, and green beans. We&#8217;ll see what luck, and the weather, give us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How are your gardens doing this year?

Plantamos calabaza en alg\u00fan momento de noviembre (creo), principalmente calabaza de verano y algunas variedades desconocidas de calabaza de invierno. Y luego las plantas de tomate a mediados de diciembre m\u00e1s o menos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> La calabaza creci\u00f3 inesperadamente y se apoder\u00f3 de la cama, amonton\u00e1ndose en los granados permanentes que mencion\u00e9 la semana pasada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lapiccolinauy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Web_IMG_0005-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" data-attachment-id=\"3936\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/lapiccolinauy.com\/es\/2024\/02\/15\/garden-update-2\/web_img_0005-1\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lapiccolinauy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Web_IMG_0005-1.jpg?fit=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon PowerShot ELPH 360 HS&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1515709174&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.5&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;160&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.002&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Web_IMG_0005-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lapiccolinauy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Web_IMG_0005-1.jpg?fit=620%2C465&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lapiccolinauy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Web_IMG_0005-1.jpg?resize=620%2C465&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3936\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lapiccolinauy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Web_IMG_0005-1.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lapiccolinauy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Web_IMG_0005-1.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lapiccolinauy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Web_IMG_0005-1.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lapiccolinauy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Web_IMG_0005-1.jpg?resize=16%2C12&amp;ssl=1 16w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lapiccolinauy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Web_IMG_0005-1.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lapiccolinauy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Web_IMG_0005-1.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lapiccolinauy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Web_IMG_0005-1.jpg?resize=200%2C150&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lapiccolinauy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Web_IMG_0005-1.jpg?resize=507%2C380&amp;ssl=1 507w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La pr\u00f3xima vez le dar\u00e9 a cada planta a\u00fan m\u00e1s espacio.
