That's the true gardener spirit! :setc_014: I also love sharing plants and produce.
@Sjoerd, it's a raised bed. I mixed the marigold choppings into the soil, along with some biochar and bone ashes. I agree with your garden club...
It's probably too late now, but what if you planted the garlic amongst your strawberries? I would, but then I'm kind of an oddball anyway.
@Logan, you will have a lovely garden! @Melody Mc. I bet your strawberries will thank you for those leaves! I'd like to come up with a...
You can plant garlic, shallot bulbs, flower bulbs for Spring. A lot of things can be grown by "winter sowing" but I don't have a lot of...
@Pacnorwest, that I do that is just a sign of obsession :setc_033: I keep my seeds in an unheated pantry closet in the dark, in paper envelopes....
Thanks @Sjoerd and @Pacnorwest for your comments! I decided most of this year's order would be from Johnny's Seeds in Maine. It's a northern...
Sound like a good plan @Melody Mc. I've grown them from bulbils. In my climate, I can just plant them about a half inch deep in rows, and let...
@Melody Mc. I agree with you, this experiment probably isn't suitable for your priorities. I hope to continue posting how it goes. Nice plant...
It seems early, but with saving seeds I already did part of my garden planning for 2023. Plus I already planted the garlic tor next year. Here...
Here is the cover for the miniature peach trees. They yielded very well this year. I hope I got the covers in place on time. [IMG] It's not...
For the miniature apple orchard, I'm aiming for something similar to this, but much fewer trees. [ATTACH] That was Gene Yale near Chicago, in...
Thanks Pacnorwest. Here is the rest of the Mutsu. The top growth was pretty rewarding. [IMG] This winter, I want to plant this tree in a...
Mel, that's the idea, anyway. Last year, they did get some fungus gnats and whitefly. I treated with soap spray and neem, which cured them. I...
I inspected some of the apple grafts I did last Spring. I'm making espaliers with the top two tiers, different varieties from the lower two...
Today I spread dried, crushed eggshells and used coffee grounds over where I planted garlic last week, and worked them in shallowly. Then I did...
@Shoerd, those are some nice looking garden beds! Very nice indeed. Our garden gets the doggie hair. It's full of nutrients for the plants....
The air is starting to clear, so I got back to work and planted garlic. This raised bed had sauce tomatoes until two or three days ago. This...
What an adventure, Sjoerd, for you and for you bride! I loved reading your story! I have a younger version of Moonlight apple too, in my fenced...
Thanks for the well wishes everyone! Today I spent a few hours on the homestead, then left for town again. I harvested the last of the sauce...
