[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 1934785, member: 31715"] Well the mushrooms were a 1 day and done type of thing. Popped up, died, and never showed back up again. So I'm sure that fungus and decomposing mushroom material will just benefit the soil. Some plants have been absoutely thriving. Others have been a bit more slow. I really am coming to the conclusion that my mega L bed gets too much sun. Either that, or the past few weeks the sun has been way too intense. I can tell most of the plants are stressed in them. What are thriving are the strawberries and the cucumber plant. The zucchini plant at this point I'm gonna call a gonner. All 3 seeds I planted next to it sprouted though, so hopefully one of those makes it into a viable plant. It should since it was sown outside. Oh, and my potato plant finally got past the surface of the soil, starting to get little leaf buds popping up in the container! :D Anyways, one plant that is thriving is the cucumber. It was questionable for a long time. Then out of no where, we woke up one day, and it had about doubled in size. And then a few days later, it had doubled in size again. It's growing massive and quickly! [GALLERY=media, 29690][/GALLERY] It is even starting to fruit already! [GALLERY=media, 29560][/GALLERY] [GALLERY=media, 29536][/GALLERY] [GALLERY=media, 29576][/GALLERY] The Roma tomato has really taken off too! [GALLERY=media, 29344][/GALLERY] That is from a few days ago, and looking at it today, its about 30-40% larger than that already! I pruned a whole bunch off of it today. The thing is growing like no ones business. 1 of the bell pepper plants is really producing a good sign pepper now. The one from earlier ended up dying and falling off. The bell pepper plants are really stressed looking though. I really think they are getting too much sun. But, that's the purpose of this journal, I'm learning and will know to try them in a different spot next year and see how they go. The onions are growing a bit slow too. They look really stressed also. I pulled some soil back though, and they are producing some nice sized bulbs already! So they are still chugging away. As a test, I had some onions that I started in a seed starter tray that I transplanted to one of the other beds with less sun. I will see if those do better with less sun, then I should have a pretty clear answer of where to plant my onions next year. The salad bed is looking pretty pathetic. But I had a few lettuce sprouts in my seed starter tray too, so I decided to transplant them. Think it's too warm for these greens, but I'll try anyways. And.. my watermelon plants are doing well. Cantaloupe has sprouted, but it's going slow. Blueberry bushes look like they might be producing berries! It's hard to tell if they are just going to stay as flower buds, or turn into berries. And last but not least, the strawberry plants have been producing berries. For the 4 we have planted, it nets us about 1 strawberry per day on average lol! So not a great harvest but it's fun to pick a ripe one and try it :) -Brandon [/QUOTE]
