Title: Think'n about a garden yet?
Post by: Mugwump on February 11, 2015, 02:35:29 PM
...we are...might go a bit bigger this year to get more working space...it was awfully tight in there with everything last year.....

We should get a rebound crop from our Strawberries/blue berries/raspberries/peaches, etc...because last year, after that super cold winter, wasn't very good.....

We've had herb gardens growing all winter. Fresh herbs for cooking are great.

Gale has Hens and Chicks and other soft succulents ready for her Spring into Gardening expo on March 14th.

It's a work in progress. More will follow as we near spring.

Tomatoes are starting to wane in the garden now. Wife still managed to pick a tone of cherry maters. Some seeds are in start trays and more will go down Saturday for transplant in late March.

I'll just plant my usual couple of tomatos and a few different peppers.  My customers always bring me free food from their gardens, but I like growing my own 'maters.  I plant mine late so they ripen when most people's are in decline.  I may plant some potatoes in large containers just because harvesting them is fun, like finding buried treasure ;D

Hey, Graydragon,  You da man.  I would love to have a garden that size, but my yard is small and I don`t think that I could take care of all that. As of now, I`m looking into keeping honey bees to help polinate all of my fruit and veggies. They are having a class about bee keeping at our commuity college and I will be taking it. As honey bees are declining they are trying to get more people into raising them. I may have to check with the city to see if we can have them in town. I hope so, it would be great to watch them, no I`m not afraid of getting stung. They are pretty docile when they know you.
