If You Planted a Garden What Did You Plant?
I finished planting my garden of corn, peas, okra, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, potatoes, cucumbers, cantaloupe, and watermelon.
I have never planted potatoea before , My neighbor gave me a potato bag to plant the potatoes in. Will see how that goes. |
Re: If You Planted a Garden What Did You Plant?
Doing mostly container gardening this year, other than green beans and cucumbers which I planted in our garden spot. In containers I have tomatoes, jalapenos, oregano, basil and cilantro. Also planted strawberries and blackberries.

Re: If You Planted a Garden What Did You Plant?
I would love to find some really sweet strawberries to plant. I found some when I lived in Houston, and I had them planted in kiddie pools that was working wonderful, but my hubby said no pools. :) and I was not able to bring them to my new home.

I have planted cream peas, green beans, garlic, onions, okra, jalapenos, serrono, carbunell peppers, tomatoes, yellow crook neck squash, zuchinee squash, corn, and cucumbers. But i still have to plant my purple hull peas, watermellons, cantaloupes, and field corn.

Re: If You Planted a Garden What Did You Plant?
Seriously? It's still 35 degrees here during the day. We won't be planting anything soon.
When we do plant, I will probably just plant a few tomatoes, a couple of green pepper plants, a couple of cucumbers and maybe some jalapenos. Not much of a gardener here :) |
Re: If You Planted a Garden What Did You Plant?
A few tomatoe plants and some onions.
Will do some purple hull peas, and cucumbers too. Anything else, we will buy at the local farmer's markets. |
Re: If You Planted a Garden What Did You Plant?
Plant anything here???? LOL like Margie said....not anytime soon. Ground is rock hard and frozen....snow is still out in many places here and more on the way~ Happy planting to all who are able to do so~

Re: If You Planted a Garden What Did You Plant?
An usual cold front is coming in this week. I hope it doesn't affect my garden.

Re: If You Planted a Garden What Did You Plant?
Barley, hops, blue agave, ... You know. Staples! :lol

Re: If You Planted a Garden What Did You Plant?
I'm attempting to see if our backyard and local climate will support one of these.

Re: If You Planted a Garden What Did You Plant?
No planting for me here yet. Although, I am wanting to do a "cold plant" garden, which includes broccoli, spinach, and kale. I am probably going to buy some seeds this week, and start them inside, and then plant outside perhaps sometime in April. I've decided unless my husband builds me a greenhouse, I am not even going to bother with warm-weather loving veggies like tomatoes, squash and peppers. Even in the summer, although the day temps get up to 90-100, at night, it cools down to the low 40s, sometimes 30s, and our first frost was Aug 30... so, I think this year I am going to concentrate on veggies that like cold weather...
Anyone else doing cold weather lovin veggies? |
Re: If You Planted a Garden What Did You Plant?
We started two barrels with potatoes. The whites sprouted within 5 days and are now about 6 inches tall. The reds basically rotted -so I'm trying again with them.

Re: If You Planted a Garden What Did You Plant?
We have 11 huge firs surrounding us so we will have to plant in containers that will sit in the drive way...1/2 barrels with big wheels so we can move them. I think we will do tomatoes for sure, I would like to do some lettuce, radishes, and a few other salad things...we can't plant for awhile yet our nights are still too cool!
I too want a green house...we have one sunny most of the time spot in the back that I think we can squeeze a small one. I want to be able to grow later in the season and start my own seeds, not have to buy plants. We are going to check into the Aquaponics and hope that will work...but that is going to take some new thought process's...growing in water with a green house your suppose to be able to grow year round...we will see. And the fish fertilizer is nice! I have heard growing potatoes in straw works really well...I want to do that too, I don't think they require all sun...some shade will be ok for them. |
Re: If You Planted a Garden What Did You Plant?
I want to try the potato barrels. Saw the seed potatoes at Ace Hardware today. RW, can you tell me approximately how many seed potatoes you need for one barrel? They are selling them by the pound.

They look pretty lonely in this picture but these are our two barrels. You can see the plants in the first barrel doing pretty good after only a couple of weeks. They are much smaller in the other one.

Re: If You Planted a Garden What Did You Plant?
A friend of ours told us another way he tried growing potatoes was in 3 or 4 old
tires. You lay one tire down fill with soil and seed potatoes, let them sprout up well, then add another tire and more soil, careful not to cover the sprout tops, another tire, soil.... Found this illustration...... http://www.kiddiegardens.com/growing..._in_tires.html and this one....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FYoPOpAhwQ |
Re: If You Planted a Garden What Did You Plant?
I won't get to plant one this season. Maybe I will be able to plant a Summer-Fall garden. I've been in the hospital and recovering etc.
This year I have concentrated on increasing my annual food producers that do not require tilling each season etc. So far I have... (3) Fig trees (Planted last year) (2) Cherry Trees (2) Apple Trees (1) Nectarine Tree (1) Peach Tree These are newer additions to my already established Pear Tree, Plum Tree & Native Persimmon Tree. |
