    Little update

    I know it's been a while since I posted. Sorry about that but life does have a way of getting in the way of forums and such. most everything is growing well. I built some trellises for the peas and I have had several grip and begin to climb. I may have overloaded the garden a little. I am...

    Little update

    This morning the seedlings were added to the bed. The peppers never even started.... I dumped out the soil from the peat pots, a complete no go... not sure why. most everything seems to be happy to be in the soil. I beleive I killed the cucumbers. I only planted 5 of 10 hills that I...

    Germination

    how big should the plants be before I start working them outside? I checked the forecast (and we all know how accurate they are) there will be one night down to 42 degrees, and that is tomorrow night. I had no plans to leave them outside overnight for a few days. I was going to take the...

    Germination

    little update, I am starting the hardening process now on some of the plants, the seedlings are sitting on the bed outside, unfortunately I don't have anywhere out of the wind and in the sun, so I am crossing my fingers. My son and I put the soil in the bed over the weekend. The drain holes...

    blame Ron

    Nice to meet you as well *extends hand* I definitely agree with the taste difference between home grown and store bought. there is also a difference between where you buy them. Farmers market vs Wally World vs an IGA. The times I have tried organic it was store bought organic vs store...

    blame Ron

    Ron asked for the next question, so this is all his fault :D I have heard varied opinions on organic vs. non-organic (is there something else you call it?) gardening? Is there a major difference in taste, chemical composition, etc of the veggies? what is the difference in between method...

    New... New... New... Everything

    I am thinking that an acre is a bit much for a raised bed...:D

    New... New... New... Everything

    Gloria, my bed is standing on legs a little over 3 ft tall. I have some lower back issues that I think would make a traditional ground garden difficult. I will post some pics as soon as I am able to post some green in it. The germination is going FANTASTIC BTW in six days I have cucumber...

    Germination

    I will gladly post pics. Right now the only pics I could post would be the bed, no soil, no plants just wood and screws, and the germinating plants that are just barely pokin out of the soil. I am going to take pics as things progress and post a bunch when I have something a little more...

    Germination

    eh... its my first rodeo. I figure the best way to get advice is to ask the ones that have been there. dynamic information as opposed to a cut and dry answer in a book or on an "expert" site that you cant ask for clarification on. believe me you folks have my appreciation, Id share the fruits...

    Blueberries

    best blueberry pie in the world is the one made from berries you picked a few hours ago. My only problem was when I was picking, it was one for the bucket, one for the gullet. It took a while to get enough for the pie...

    New... New... New... Everything

    from what I have learned in another thread I believe that it would be best to push back the transplanting a couple weeks for frost possibilities and so that I can harden the plants to the outside climate. Thats why I am here, to learn things...

    Germination

    I think this was the most important of my questions, yet I left it in the middle for some reason. I pulled the frost info for my area, Early 11-Mar Average 07-Apr Late 11-May, two month spread for early to late. I think I was in a bit of a hurry, and I will hold off a couple weeks if I can (...
