2020 Garden changes

Timely bump wife just got done shopping for seeds with the neighbor. We'll see what she bought when she gets home

[Great-Kazoo]

green beans, carrots, red peppers, lettuce, tomatoes (roma & plum) maybe some onions and lots of herbs.


Garlic she planted in nov, has 8-10" stalks.

last year she planted a few things to see what the results were. Outside the drip system for watering and some neem oil for those damn aphids on thre tomatoes. Everything was really successful. Which means this years harvest will end up being picked, from the farmers market.

Bought a grow light and building a green house. Should extend my growing season tremendously. Also adding some poted tomatoes since i plan on spacing out seeds so i have endless tomatoes as my garden boxes just dont seem to be big enough. Should have plenty of vegies to share with my neighbors and provide my family of 4.

I'm going to try more types of squash this year- spaghetti, butternut, and one or two zucchini plants. No tomatoes- they're a pain and I can buy them cheaper at Sprouts and can them.

I agree. Our growing season is too damn short for getting good yields on tomatoes.

Really? I have had no issues with tons of tomatoes im just getting greedy trying to see how long I can extend my growing season. Im actually going to keep a log this year on all my vegies from start to finish with the new greenhouse method

Well that gives me hope, although my tomatoes were a source of constant disappointment. I was plagued by blossom rot, and then they just stopped producing.

I ended up just buying 50# of romas from Sprouts and canning them.

Just a heads up, there is now a run on seeds if you haven?t bought this years yet. No clue about seedlings at garden places. Will be heading to HD for a look and some supplies.

If you are looking for tomato seeds, slim pickings. Seeding supplies are picked clean. Not sure if it is just the typical time of the year or this situation has more people trying gardening.

Too bad it took the destruction of our economy and a pandemic, more people getting active in gardening and guns are good to see.

Also, my wife commented that more people are getting to know their neighbors better as well.

There are my positives for the week.

My friend in LA started a garden in case food becomes scarce. So I can see that.
Of course food wont be an LA problem, water will be the number 1 issue.
