Anyone have a garden going this year?

This is everything I have started so far. Lettuce, broccoli, kale, onions, spinach, a lot of different herbs, and overgrown kitchen produce - ginger, garlic and sweet potatoes.

 

Im jealous of all you green thumbed people

 

It must be hard to maintan such a nice display there!

 

That's very exciting! I am so happy you will be getting more space to grow

It just takes practice, you can do it. If you ever need any advice, I am happy to help. Remember, the plants want to grow and will usually do whatever they can to stay alive. Start with good soil and most of the time you won't have to do much. Of course, it also depends on your climate, where I live, after they are established, I rarely have to worry about watering my plants when they are outside.

 

Many bulb plants, and some stray chamomile from last years seeds that dropped.

Happy Mother's Day my calibrachoa bounced back after the hailstorm tore it up.

 

1st time in year our garden is doing awesome.

 

Just had first of the strawberries. Fucking outstanding flavour.
For the first year in a while everything is going fine especially the carrots which were a disaster last year.

 

So nice to enjoy fresh goods from garden. We have radishes, lettuce, and spinach. Had snow peas in the pass but skipped them this year. Hope all keeps going well. We got hit by hail last year very depressing. But love my time in garden.

 

Last year was a bad year for my garden to. This year's its really coming up nicely

 

I have a garden going this year for the first time in almost 15 years. I was fortunate enough to get a plot at our community garden. I put in grape tomatoes, salad greens, spinach, chives, and cucumbers. Everything I like to eat!

 

Last year, I started a lot of plants and had a lot of the seedlings potted out but then I took a trip to my property and ended up staying, by the time my family came for a visit and brought my plants, a lot of them were dead and what was left mostly got neglected while I was hurt so they never got put in the ground. Surprisingly, a few were still alive by the time I got my first frost which then killed the rest.

Today, I just put together the frame for a small greenhouse at the back of my camper, facing south. Tomorrow, I will put the cover on it. I've got a few clear totes and some gallon plastic jugs. Basically, just making layers of protection to see how far I can push the growing season here. I was living in zone 7, now I am in zone 5. That's about a month less of grow time on each end of the season.




Once they are filled with soil and seeded, I tape up the container and it makes a mini greenhouse. Then put the lid on the tote and take it all out to the greenhouse. I will add pictures once everything is set up.
