I started my Tomato and Pepper seeds yesterday. Those and 4 scallions I felt bad for and potted are the only things I'm working on so far.. well, I do have my onions, but they are outside and will probably wait a while yet before they sprout.

Well, it's looking like I'll start my onions in the next day or 2 and start the rest of the seeds the weekend of the 13th-14th.

Aww, come on, Hootie is now singing country music... lol

My boss tried to text me "Ok, thanks!" the other day, instead I got "Ok Thanos!" lol

Couldn't you just keep what you have growing?

Nothing except for the fact that no one will let me do it... bah!

From my understanding (just research, no practical yet), sets are made by planting seeds, waiting a few months, then digging them and forcing them to go dormant. The issue with sets is that because they have already gone dormant, they are on their 2nd year and they will want to grow more top...

I'm going to be planting Sweet Spanish, but I really should have an intermediate day onion, so I'm not sure how well these long day ones will do, I'm hoping I am close enough to the long day boarder to be ok.

I am planning on starting my onions from seed using the overwintering method where you put the seeds in a plastic container of potting soil in early spring, put it outside with a cover with a few holes in it, keep an eye on it to keep it moist but not wet and then plant the babies outside when...

Yep, there are 2 forms of reproduction. Sexual reproduction is where the plants flower and produce pollen and then seeds, the children are genetically similar but different from the parents and each other. Asexual reproduction is where you remove a piece of the plant to produce a new plant...

Understood, but, that only works if you combine a dry style bean, a field or popcorn style corn, and a winter squash so that all are ready to harvest at nearly the same time. I'm not growing a dry bean, which means I need to be able to get up to the bean plants to pick daily or nearly daily...

I am going to have 1 garden which is roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, mini bell peppers, thai hot peppers, carrots, leaf lettuce, beets, basil. Another which will be summer squash (yellow crookneck and zucchini). Then an experiment I want to try, I have seen conflicting information about...

Not a bad idea... if one had a tiller... lol Our soil is heavy clay and pretty compacted. Now that the horses will be standing and pooping in 1 place a lot this winter I will gather manure for the garden. I'm just not going looking for it in the field. My whole property is also a hill, so...

That's kind of what I'm doing. I have cinderblocks all the way around, when I get it built up enough to be near the tops of them I will add another layer of blocks to a height of around 16 inches above natural level. I just don't want to fork over the money to fill a 4x8 bed from scratch with...

Nah, the barn is empty, we even ripped part of the floor out to re-pour it. Changing it from a dairy barn to one for horses. I do have some older hay and will probably try some "straw bale gardening" with some of it and also grow my onions in some this year then what is left will go in the...

Lol, it was a plant in a peat pot for $4 not just the pot. I got 2" peat pots for next year for $0.10 each. I also didn't have enough broken up depth in my garden to be able to plant them deep, I was actually having a hard time chipping enough clay away at the bottoms of the holes to be able to...

I know this now... lol, like I said, 1st time I ever used them so it was a learning experience for sure.

Yeah, last year was my first experience with peat pots, I wanted to get my tomatoes and peppers in 6-paks but they didn't have any when I went shopping so I got 3" peat pots (at like $4 each) and planted according to the directions... well, the plants barely put roots outside of the pots so they...

Hey guys, I finally caught up on this thread. I'm not exactly old folks but I was dumb when young and tore my body up so I FEEL old and am trying to get a garden set up to be easier to manage. This (2021) will be the 2nd year doing a garden at my place, had some issues last year but I learned...
