drip via pvc is what i do

baust55 · 03-28-2015, 12:12 PM

I brought my 5 fig trees up out of the basement

shilala · 03-28-2015, 12:25 PM

Just a few more weeks and I can start playing in the dirt.
That might be a little ambitious, but I hope it dries out well enough to at least prepare my side garden and get in some cold crops.

Spent the day filling my garden box with dirt and then finally getting some plants in. Man my butt is whooped! See all the trips up and down the hill!

Looking good, Hal!!!

I live on a cliff just like you.

I have some daffodils and crocuses coming up in the side garden, forgot all about them. I need to go dig up more and put them in, I know where there's a few huge patches.

I need to fertilize the grass and it's almost time to get the sprinklers fired up, make dirt for the garden, and all that good stuff.
Still a few more weeks till things will dry up enough to get at them.

Transplanted a few radish seedlings in one of my planting beds. Let's see if they can stand the cold weather. Seed book suggests not starting indoors, oops.

HK3- · 04-07-2015, 06:42 PM

Looks like most of the trees and shrubs I planted last year made it. Lots of buds and leaves popping out.

hammondc · 04-18-2015, 02:19 PM

How are they coming boys? I'm building another (2) 10X4 beds whenever this rain stops. All my seedlings are coming along. Probably go to ground May2.

azar · 04-21-2015, 04:53 PM

Finally got them full 2 yards each top soil and a yard of compost each.

And this sounds odd but my wife, kids and myself have started a fairy garden

Chainsaw13 · 04-21-2015, 05:40 PM

Nice Mack, you'll get a lot out of those beds.

HK3- · 04-22-2015, 11:57 AM

Nice beds Mack! Like the fairy garden also.

HK3- · 05-04-2015, 05:07 AM

Spent most of the weekend in the yard. Picked up some replacement plants for the beds, put down a sh-load of mulch, and cut the grass. We were able to pick some lettuce from the garden to have in our salads.

Still working the bottom grass down by the garden trying to get it caught up with the rest of the back yard. I've busted my ass on that hill numerous times when its wet….

Finally got my seedlings to the ground. Starting from seed is a pain via transplant. I'll direct sow next year.

shilala · 05-04-2015, 09:22 AM

The garden just dried out enough for me to get it cleaned up.
I should get some cold crops put in the side garden, but I'm not all that excited yet.
May around here really weathers all over the place. It just got nice a couple days ago.

Sounds like you're about to come out of hibernation.

shilala · 05-05-2015, 08:11 AM

That's my master plan, Chronic.

Chainsaw13 · 05-05-2015, 08:13 AM

I transplanted my seedlings this past weekend. What a couple days of warm weather and real sunshine make. I think my tomato plants have already grown 1-2".

Mine too. I did lose some in my tomato bed. I have some extras in an overflow bed though.

bvilchez · 05-07-2015, 09:37 AM

Well fellas, I think I can officially post in this thread now. Wife and I and fed up with having nothing in the yard. We decided and purchased an avocado tree (10-12 yrs old), and 2 citrus trees (potted right now), tomatoes, cilantro, peppers, basil, and mint. We'll see how far we can take them. Hopefully our green thumbs don't give way.

Any advice on any of these? Definitely do not want to see any of them perish, especially the avocado tree.

Jay, where abouts are you now in SoCal and what variety of Avocado did you purchase? Is it a standard, semi-standard, or dwarf tree?
