All Things Gardening 2018

[TheGrey]

So far, I've received 12 seed catalogs in the mail. I'm itching to start another garden or two.

What will you plant this year? Are you trying anything new?

[MrPrena]

I think I will spread the seed little earlier (late feb or maybe early mar), so that I can spready the weed-b-gone little earlier. I was seeing dandelions early march last year. I am planning to skip any fertilizer/revive/scotts stuff this year.

Have received the fancy seed catalog that I signed up for last year from your (TheGrey) recommendation. It gets me excited about gardening. In the end, I let my wife go and buy seeds from where ever (last year it was the Dollar Store) and plant what ever. So I gave it to my new neighbors that want a garden.

I ordered a "short season" variety pack of seeds from Victory Seed Co. several weeks ago: Roma II bush beans, Detroit Dark Red beets, Waltham 29 broccoli, Golden Acre cabbage, Little Fingers carrots, Black Seeded Simpson lettuce, Green Arrow garden peas, California Wonder Bell pepper and Siberia tomato. I'll get those going in the beds outside after starting some inside.

I'll mainly be focussed on the aquaponics system though.

Are you going to start a thread to show pictures of your set-up as you go along?

I have contemplated putting down about 1000-2000 sq ft of corn this year. We'll see. I could do about an acre, but that sounds like a lot of work.

[Irving]

What would you do with it all?

Eat a lot of corn. Haha

I would vacuum seal and freeze me a year's supply and give the rest to friends. Or put a for sale ad up and allow folks to come collect it.

[Irving]

And then dump off the rest at a gas station I assume.

Got any build plans for a still?
