Here is mine so far... :D Plants to follow... it will be fun watching your garden's progress How's by you?
I start tomatoes, peppers, and snap peas inside in early March. I have lettuce, onions, carrots, and garlic in the garden so far. The lettuce and garlic is showing but not the onions or carrots. Tomatoes, peppers, snap peas, and watermelon will get planted sometime this weekend. I would love to have a garden like yours, I just plant on the side of my house where the flowers used to be. I will post some pictures in a bit, I may have some on my phone. Edit: Pictures added
I started one last year and had a hard time keeping up with the weeds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Hey. I'm no farmer by any means. But those of you with land, why don't you guys buy a cow to make your milk? Just one cow
You'd be money ahead to just buy the milk than feed and mess with a cow. Oh, tomatoes are just starting to get bloom buds, banana peppers are getting little bloom buds on them, taters are growing like crazy. My lettuce isn't doing real good but my cabbage is doing great.
To damn cold here yet. I started tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, watermelon, giant pumpkins, colarabi, squash in the basement a few weeks ago. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk
Doug, when I lived in South Buffalo i had is similar set up and priduced a ton of food for us...you look like you have a good start on things... This year I am going to lay straw down between my plants and see how that works....I hate weeding a garden that big... Pics or it ain't happening... :D Looking forward to seeing your garden, Steve... Here is a pic with my grandson from today...we were tilling the garden again... He was aggravated at his dad that he wanted to take a pic when we were tilling..lol
Last I heard, an average cow gives 70 lbs of milk a day. Really good cows can produce twice that much. Way more than an average family can use. Plus, you have to tend to the cow regularly, no days off. Out here quite a few people have dairy goats. They're a bit more manageable. I looked at dexter cattle (mini cows) but they're hard to come by. We've had our garden tilled for about two months but the night time temps. have been still dropping below freezing. I think we'll plant it this week. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
And I don't have any pics... it was too much work with my two miniature assistants last weekend planting. but got the sweet corn, beans, squash, cucumber and okra. That's about it...I said I'd buy tomatoes for anyone who wanted any.....I'm 0 for ever on a good tomato crop. Actually down sized the whole garden this year.
14' x 28' . Strawberries are coming in strong (planted last year). Will plant big boy tomatoes, Roma, peppers (bell and banna, lettuce, zucchini and cucumbers. Second year. Added a mowing barrier and a gate this year. All removable so future owners of this home can expand or remove it if they want to. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4.
I've actually managed to do fairly well on the side of my house the past 3 years, my tomatoes scare me though, they end up growing 8 feet tall. Only took me a few years to learn that you can top them and make them bush out rather than turn into Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Tony, it's 24 hp. 2305. Same tractor we used back in Illinois. I hauled it out here. It's overkill for this half acre but better overkill than no tractor. Here's my lettuce 'garden'. Just seeds + jiffy pellet + mild hydroponic solution. I used yogurt cups and the plastic tray from a packaged meal. Lol. They start out as spindly little things but in about a month they are ready to eat. No artificial light needed. No illegal laborers needed. No pesticides needed. :D Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
Well she's getting there....gonna lay pea stone down then ready to plant! This is what I started with... A little more progress... Walkway finished... Can't wait to start growing!
