Spring garden

Ok slightly off topic. Down in (IIRC) Johnson City Tenn, they have an unofficial "I hate zuchini week" It is fair game to burden your friends, enemies and acquaintances, even strangers, with your excess zuchini. Dump a bushel on their porch, in their car, block their door way with it. Pile it on their desk, in their bicycle basket, etc. Plug up their newspaper box with it. They will do the same to you.

Bought an old house and the lot is 130' long, giving me lots of room to start a Garden. Once I had a guy till the ground (most of it, hard soil and the till overheated) I started planting.
Potatoes, Spinach, Bush Beans, Swiss Chard, Beats and a bunch of herbs and peppers.
With all the rain and temps in the 30's C their growing fast. So after a month the Potatoes are about 12" and the Beans are close behind, carrots are in the rear So will be able to supplement my food soon
Weeds slowly loosing the battle.

Looks like you're off to a good start...Look forward to seeing more pictures later on...

What's the small tree you planted in the garden?

Storm took one of my gardens...Corn and sunflowers...Tree fell on them...

SeaBuckThorn, got two of them, behind that is a blackberry bush.
Hope they recover from the tree fall.
Thanks!

The wife's grandmother loved her garden so much that she would take naps in the garden. When she passed she was found laying on her back with her hands crossed over her stomach, between rows of ripening peas, her favorite vegetable.

Pure peace for some who deserve it truly makes life great.

Thanks for the post

Dragonsfire, I love the old woven wire fence. We had one of those on a farm we had years ago. Nice garden too.

We got winter now.

Well, My first seed catalog of 2018 came today.....
The only new thing I know I'm planting for sure is Scarlet runner beans.....

 

[NeilMacleod]

I started planting some seeds in rockwool and placed them in my aquarium More planting today in trays.

 

[NeilMacleod]

While waiting for the night temps to get better I tried propagating some rosemary I got. Used some root starter.
My pepper seedlings growing slowly but coming, the Garlic I planted last year has come up. Blackcurrant shush survived, Seabuckthone great as well.

 

[coloradoclyde]

Nice.... :thumbsup:

I have not had good luck with those planting pucks. The fabric holding them together does not disintegrate and the plants become root bound....trying to remove them for planting does too much root damage....

 

[NeilMacleod]

Did another batch just in water, see how it goes.
