Anyone Garden?

[johnpma]

Are you wanting advice or actual physical help planting. LOL

Potatoes arent too bad to grow. Deep trenches to plant them in , you can throw some straw in the bottom of the trench before planting the potatoes.
Trench is like at least 6" deep. Cut your seed potatoes in pieces so that your a 2 or 3 eyes on each piece, eyes are those little sprouts on the sides of the potatoes. Cover them up and as they grow hill dirt around them.

Thank you sir I think I'm gonna take the trash barrel approach this year

Does anyone grow their tomatoes through plastic

I transplant my tomatoes and all my hot weather crops into bottomless buckets. I start with 4 gallon square buckets from pizza places, cut the entire bottom out of them and paint them black. Then I transplant my tomatoes and other hot weather crops into them, and plant them into my garden. They need much additional watering, but they grow fast, their roots grow down and into the garden soil, and I get a much greater yield.

I just harvested a bunch of rhubarb and am cooking down a batch of marmalade.

I either had to put these tomatoes in bigger pots or plant them.

I tried the black plastic this year in an effort to beat this blight thing we have had the last few years

We haven't gotten the veggies in yet, but I did get the flowers in finally!

Do you rotate crops so that the tomatoes don't go in ground that had tomatoes in them for the last 2-3yrs.?

Finally got the wall built and the raised beds finished up. I had to build 2 more beds to fit the veggies i wanted to get in there.... picking up the compost in a day or two....

dog sat there all day, pretending he was going for a ride.... when he is in the fence, he barks at everything that walks by. when he is in the back of the truck, he's totally silent.

Yeah, dogs can be weird about fences. I've had my own snarl at me for standing on the other side and reaching over. Short chain link fence so it wasn't visibility. It's some kind of "boundary" you just don't cross.

got the garden in.... now lets see what happens!

Nice progress. There should be something popping up soon. How much sun do the far beds closest to the tree get? If less than 6 hrs a day you might want to try cool crops there like lettuce, spinach, radishes, broccoli, etc..

I should have switched them, but they get morning sun and then afternoon sun. I put the lettuces and spinaches in the first 2 beds, and will probbaly and up building a small shade. We have historically had our tomatoes grow to be 6-7' tall, so we* (the collective we.... i might add) didn't want to block the view of the yard and the patio that we are going to finish up one of these years....

That tree is looking like firewood to me.

there is a box elder in the background that is going to be firewood first.... the pine tree is pretty well established and i have not been given permission to make it go away... especially since it gives pretty nice shade to the back yard, and it is 60' tall or so..... not to mention the other piles of firewood that I haven't gotten to or the 9 other 16" box elders out back that need to come down.....

Had to build an overflow garden box in the back by the fire pit to put plants I get from my Neighbour. He works for agriculture Canada (federal govt) and brings me tons of plants every year!

 

[Dobish]

things are starting to sprout! I can't wait for fresh spinach and lettuce!

 

[johnpma]

Yes sir we certainly do. I should have tomato's in about two weeks which is very early for my area. The combination of good plants, and my technique really paid off this year

Picked lettuce, and kale already everything else looks healthy

i need to put some more lettuce and spinach seed in. Some of it decided it wasn't going to come up. the stuff that did is coming up great! i mixed up my cucumber and my squash plant, so we will see how that goes.... My radishes and beets are doing great, by basil is doing well, and my tomotoes no longer look like they are going to die. The peppers are loving the heat right now.... i am just starting to get a few flowers.
