Only repotting of tomatoes so far. After a quick rest, I hope to repot some Broccoli, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts.
Sjoerd, I may try this method with a few plants. I'm growing all mine from seeds saved last year, except one packet I bought and two grape tomato...
Great Beeker. That sounds like a plan. It's good to have friends. Yesterday, I set out 8 Asparagus crowns. I wasn't as careful as I should have...
Today, I did nothing in the garden. Yesterday was a tiring day, so I'm resting. Besides, it's too cold.
Since we don't spray our garden, I try to do what I can to help it along. We have plenty of space, so it's easy to seperate the plants.
After trial and error, we decided to use huge containers for our pickling cukes. They do so much better than when directly grown in the earth.
I read that potatoes and tomatoes and squash attract the same beetle. Therefore they should never be planted near each other. I have a...
Ah, the joy of the early morning garden walk, coffee cup in hand, dew still on the grass, birds gossiping as they search for their "Wormy"...

I can only relate my own experience, Beeker. Two years ago, we were blessed with an abundance of compost from a nearby city. We hauled several...

Ava Rose, it has been quite cold here too. We had about 3 inches of snow this past Tuesday, but I have lettuce up, peas maybe. It's hard to be...
LOL No Poodledoodlemon, I don't use the toilet paper rolls at all. I have sections of wire cut from wire hangers. The sections are about 4 inches....

Sjoerd, I love your friendly Honey bee. The gutter method looks like a winner. Question. What soil is used? FBG, I'm extremely jealous if you...
Scattered what I hope is straw over the entire oval garden as a mulch/weed barrier. I fear I used hay which means I will be tugging sprouts all...
FBG, I get it because I grew up as a Hillbilly. I too try to get it all done once I start because the getting out there takes some effort. Is SW...
In the ground, I have planted Snap peas, regular peas, lettuce and spinach. I put 28 tomato seeds in peat pots. Next I will plant beet seeds...
