Let's see those '11 gardens!

[shilala]

I'm not sure if I mentioned or not, but I may get a little garden in yet. I had some pressure treated frames from shelves that will work perfect. I'll have three more when I tear another shelving unit apart.
It won't be much, but it'll be more than I wanted to mess with. I might have to get you guys to all come over and dig them in. I'll supply the dirt, drinks, food and smokes.

Beautiful carrots, Shawn!

Wayne, planted Kentucky Blue pole and Blue Lake bush several times. Both produced very well, especially the pole. I planted a small, new row every 2-3 weeks and they keep putting out all season. Quite delicious and almost more than our family could keep up with. Shared them with the neighbors. Japanese beetles love them, too.

Depends on the radish type. You can grow radishes most the year. They mature so fast you can replant again and again.

Lance, sorry to hear about your dog problems.

I am also planting the raddish's in an area that gets a little less sun than the rest of the garden so it should be fine. I hope.

Thanks

I like the idea of spreading out the planting a few weeks. I will try that next year or maybe this year if I get enough time for a second run of plants.


I myself had to put up fencing. Last year, I used wood 2x2s for posts but they rotted and the termites ate them. So I went with a metal t-post. They are more sturdier and I can use them over and over. I got a 25' roll of chicken wire that I strung out as tight as I could to keep the dogs out. The back part of the garden is bordered by chainlink, so that saved me some fence/cash.
