Doing my first garden in a long while this year.

Chainsaw13 · 03-21-2014, 09:25 PM

Looked in in my garden yesterday. I saw about 6 of the 30+ garlic bulbs, sprouting out of the ground. Let's hope this years harvest is better than last.

Tomorrow I'm going to transplant some of my seedlings into bigger pots. My tomato plants already have their second set of leaves, but the stems are spindly.

Was also thinking if the suns out, heading to Lowes for some cedar boards. Need to redo some of my planting beds.

Wow you have sprouts already! My garden as of right now is frozen! Can not wait I a new Craftsman tiller waiting to go to work. Bought on clearance last year. Its a small front tine 24" can't wait to break him out.

All my garlic and shallots (see some on the left side) have sprouted here already a while back. They are mostly quite early varieties though

Chainsaw13 · 03-22-2014, 05:07 PM

I went and checked again today, I counted 12 sprouts popping out of the ground. So a few more in just a couple days. We've had slightly higher temps and a lot more sun, which is thawing out my planting beds.

Chainsaw13 · 03-22-2014, 05:08 PM

Looking good Django.

azar · 03-22-2014, 07:23 PM

Looks like a good start for the year!

SvilleKid · 03-23-2014, 03:14 PM

Been finding these in garden since last rain. Have at least two, maybe as many as four that must be walking thru. NOT a promising find considering the seed crops I'll be planting in a week. Haven't had a fence around it before, but may need one this year if the deer discover it.

Steve · 03-27-2014, 08:19 PM

Well, the meat getter hasn't managed to kill the green stuff yet.

Looks like I'lll be spending some time this weekend weeding it though.

gravel · 03-27-2014, 08:25 PM

My wife started planting some stuff last week in our square foot gardens , but I haven't a clue what she planted. I'm usually more involved.

hammondc · 03-29-2014, 08:52 AM

Well, my plan to build some raised boxes today went to hell with the weather. Dammit.

Steve · 03-29-2014, 09:17 AM

Same here. I'm just hoping ours doesn't float away...

Chainsaw13 · 03-29-2014, 11:16 AM

I'm waiting on Menards to ship some corrugated metal sheets before I rebuild my beds.

hammondc · 04-03-2014, 08:15 AM

Got the beds set up and filled. Where do you guys get your plants/seeds? Any difference between big box stores and a local place?

Probably not. Most local places carry Burpee seeds or the like. Friend of mine recommended rareseeds.com if you're looking for older, heirloom varieties.

Jamie (jjirons) saves seed from a gazillion heirloom varieties. I do, too. I have a five gallon bucket of saved seed in the basement. If you guys are looking for anything in particular, just let me know and I'll drop some seeds in an envelope for ya.
If any of you guys want to grow some tobacco, just drop me a pm with your address and I'll send you some seeds asap.

Scary thought...

Maybe I'm just gun shy...
