Any Farmers/Gardeners On Here?
This will be the third or fourth year Gardening &while my wife & I have a lot to learn, we had some success's in the past few years.
We have grown Celery, Potatos, Carrots, Stawberries, Bok Choy, Mint, Beans (boy God sure blessed the beans!)
We in March usually put new top soil down & the manure of choice is Sheep & that has worked as well.
Anyone have success with their Garden?
What do you grow?
When do you start planting?
Are there any tips or tricks that you use?

Re: Any Farmers/Gardeners On Here?
I love to garden. Growing up we had a 2 acre garden. After I married I had a small garden or many years. grew Corn, purple hull peas, tomatoes, peppers of all kinds, cucumbers, greens, snap beans, mellons and other things. Just have a very small garden now. Hope to have more room for a larger one one day.

We grew some Corn for a couple of years but sadly when the Corn got about 4-5 feet tall, someone in the neighborhood trampled it down!

That is just wrong. Ours usually burns up, it gets so hot here.

Yes, but we need rain and we usually get it early in the growing season. That is if we get any, before time to plant corn.

Perhaps they were those pesky masked bandits (Raccoons).... I battle them every year. Caught about 10 in a live trap last year. Sweet Corn is among their favorite delicacies. They generally manage to destroy 75-100 stalks, but considering I plant upwards to 10,000+ I guess that not too bad.
You name it & I try to grow it. I operate a roadside Produce Stand each year during harvest time to dispose of everything exceeding my needs. Every time I coax a customer to sample some raw Sweet Corn they generally eat the whole ear and keep coming back for more. I thoroughly enjoy gardening, and as soon as it begins producing practically every Dinner consists almost exclusively on what I harvest.
