Let's see your garden

[Seanpcola]

Playing with container gardening and small area beds. Kudos to Rick (Shootinstarz)for answering a lot of dumb questions. I've already got tons of peppers, tomatoes and lettuce exploding out.

Everything is just coming up at my house. It is about a quarter acre. The best part is my neighbors plow, plant, water, and harvest it and give me what I want since its on my land.

Just had my first fresh veggie supper of the season last night. Picked enough ripe English peas off 2 of the 8 rows for a big pot of them. Thresa dug up a couple of new potato plants and got about a dozen small ones, too small really. Oven cooked pork roast, fresh English peas and new potatoes, I ate until I hurt it was so good.

Also spent a good portion of the weekend setting up the pole bean trellises. I got all the main lines run and managed to get two rows strung up and the plants started on the strings. One of these years I surely hope to beat the English peas and pole beans to the trellis so I don't spend hours untangling and retraining the vines.

Sean, try a little Miracle Grow on those container plants, they love it.

I don't remember seeing that part of your store, is it that in the room marked "Employees Only"?

Miracle Grow is what I'm using Rick. These plants are healthy and with all this rain I suspect they're gonna produce well, unless this weather drowns them.

Tonight I'm going to have a salad from all of the lettuce.

Here's mine. It's located at a distance from my house, but not too far. It grows almost anything I can imagine. It's not very expensive. I can harvest any time of day. It never runs out of fruit or vegetables, and best of all, it requires almost no work. It's perfect.

Yuk ! Fresh is best and no telling how long that stuff has been sitting in a depleted oxygen enviroment. Seriously, there is no comparision in taste with fresh picked.

 

[Seanpcola]

Yep! Had my first salad from my garden last night. There is no comparison in the taste of lettuce that was in the ground 20 minutes earlier and something that has been sitting on the shelf.

My garden

Grapes, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries.....

 

[Seanpcola]

My Blueberry and Pear trees are looking great too. There's berries all over the Blueberry tree. I try to keep it fertilized and healthy year round and I end up with more than I'll ever eat. My neighbor and my grand daughter pick to off of it and that's after I pick them till I'm tired of looking at them.

 

[Stagman]

I just planted a couple of blueberry bushes, what is the best fertilizer for them?

 

[Seanpcola]

I use those Miracle Grow fertilizer spikes for fruits and berries. It's time release and seems to work well. I used them for some Cedar trees I planted a few years ago and those things are monsters now.

Corn, pole beans, tomatoes, squash, potatoes, English peas, black beans, and oranges from last year.

Is there a better garden thread out there? Found this one from 2015, we can revive this one if there's not another one, I did run a search and this is the best one I found!

 

[JWlineman]

Carry on, I'd contribute but I need to build a "great wall" to defend against my own chickens

Im trying chaos gardening this year. Basically pick a spot and throw the seeds out lol. A few weeks ago i put out collards, mustard, daikon radish, turnips, sugar snap peas, and sunflower. I closed the old pig pen up a few days ago because after Halloween my wifes friends gave us pumpkins to feed the pigs. There are over 3 dozen plants coming up. We have close to 100 blueberry plants but they are small.

 

[Gonzolee10]

We'll be tilling ours this weekend and planting next weekend so I'll keep some progress pics coming

I have all my garden beds setup and ready, just waiting until this weekend to put anything in them. That is if I look at the two week forecast and it shows continued warmth in the forecast. I have a lot of seeds planted and some pepper plants I picked up under a grow light in my garage. Last night was the first night I left them outside with this warm moist weather! I've been setting them outside on the warmer sunny days and bringing them in at night when temps at night were still cool.
