when are you sowing your garden this year?

I love both but don't cook with them enough to plant them. Family doesn't like heat. I enjoy the different flavors of the peppers.

All of my bell peppers and tomatoes this year are Heirloom, so I'm saving some this year for next year.

We're prossesing all our seeds this year in case you guys wanna have a swap this fall

[HoneyBadger]

This year we didn't do any heirloom stuff because we're just getting started and we are still learning the basics. Next year, we'd like to.

I'd need to be able to get a year where I have a full harvest before I try heirlooms and gathering the seeds. I think my jalepenos this year are, but I'll wait to see how they come out.

Finally got my tomatos and beans in. Had to buy tomatoes I didn't start them soon enough but I planted them anyway. They are between the larger ones and the beans. Tomatoes are all for sauce.

Closest is carrots, turnips and parsnips. One did not come up like I thought might replant.



Also built another 8' by 6' bed today and planted with one summer squash, one zucchini, one cucumber, one butternut, one honey dew and one cantalope. I will trail the vines out of the box as they mature.

Good days work.

Good news guys, I'm accidentally growing potatoes this year! I got them last year and re-planted them and they quickly died. They came back this year though.

Awesome! The 3, 5 gallon buckets of potatoes I decided to try this year are all the way to the top. Alright I might as well share too!


Here's the Backyard. Tree to the right foreground is plum. PVC trellis behind it is Grapes. Below them is a bed with Eqyptian walking onions (anyone want to try them let me know they are flowering now.) tree to the left of grapes is apple, and the one to the left of it as well. Behind those trees are blackberries. The two trees to the left are the ones that DSB gave us a good idea at what they were (either russian olive or buckthorn) Just behind and below those are Strawberries.


Hops is doing well! The one on the left is 4 foot tall already. There is so much mint growing everywhere... It is taking over the rocks.


And here is my 4x8s
Right side is Cukes and Zukes, i'll have lettuce under them i thinks. Maters in the middle, and peppers will go on the left.

I really want to try some radishes, but just haven't gotten to it. Didn't harden the seedlings good enough they is getting sunburn unfortunately. Behind these Raised beds there are 2 Plum trees.

And the side of the house is all raspberries. When I bought the place I decided I was going to learn gardening LOL

That's good, saves money and is healthier! Growing up in MI we relied on our garden it was like an acre plus. I hated it then, but now that I'm olderI'm just getting back in to it and can't wait till harvest!

Me too! I really need to do a cost comparison. The initial expense is high, but there must be some savings over store bought stuff. I know it tastes hecka better. One thing I cannot wait for is the taste of a locally grown tomato. I have not had a tomato right out of the garden since I was a kid.
