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!

Y'all are making me hungry for those things. My husband grows a lot of veggies, melons, etc.

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.

Re: Any Farmers/Gardeners On Here?

We're growing a massive amount of peppers on a very small patch of ground but plan on starting a number of barrels for potato gardening this Spring.

I would have chickens in a heart beat if our HOA allowed it.
