Are you guys/girls ready for garden season? Have you ordered your seeds?

These pics are from last year, but I figure you boys need some motivation to quit making sawdust and start making veggies  8)



 


 


 


 

The board along the top of the fence are mainly 20-22' white oak boards. Boy they sure were fun to man-handle. I ordered seeds yesterday from tomato growers supply. I got some cherokee chocholate maters, some royal hillbilly maters, some jalepeno both hot and "fooled you", got some bell pepper seeds.

If you fellars like peppers, I would suggest both the "garden salsa hybrid" and the "fooled you jalepeno". Those are the only two we grow every year. The "fooled you jalepeno" looks just like a jalepeno and tastes like one, but isn't even a little hot. The "garden salsa hybrid" has awesome flavor, and just a tad bit of heat... well unless theres a hard drought, then the heat goes up substantially. Happy planting

Good looking setup you've got there. I am looking at seeds but haven't bought any just yet.

I will be starting tomato and pepper seeds in the house about the middle of next month. I have a guy that has a greenhouse that gets his tomato stakes from me. We usually do a little trading every year.

See the guy sitting in the chair....that's how I garden!

What does everyone use that's cheap and easy to hold beans up?

Have fred cut you a bunch of that bamboo hes got all over the place, cut it to 6' and let it dry.  It lasts a few years.  Use parts that are 3/8" or thicker.  Ive been using store bought for a while.  Couple years ago i had 7' tall string bean plants and it supported them just fine.

I had some lengths of concrete reinforcing mesh (like 5'wide with like 6 x 6" squares) that I put in the garden for beans as well as cucumbers to climb. I thought it was very easy to put up and very effective. Leaned it at about 15° and the beans and cukes hung down for easy picking too.

Those were back in the day when I had a garden... ;D

Haven't gotten anywhere with veggies yet, but the first 14 tons of corn and soybean seed showed up Monday.

Raider Bill,string beans? stickers work for me in a circle.

Since I have a sawmill, I use bean poles.

All my seeds are in. We started a bunch of seeds in our hoophouse this year, but some high winds knocked over the front wall and dumped everything out. I haven't had time to till up the garden either. Looks like another late start on our garden.

I just bought some seeds for pole beans, tomatoes, mint, cucumbers, and sweet basil. I plan on growing everything in containers on my balcony. I will start the tomatoes indoors in about three weeks.

Pipe conduit in a goal post pattern with strings hanging down works well. Also, if you have a small soccer net, thats almost ideal because the netting will support the beans.

If I had 14 tons of corn and soybeans... Well, then I definately wouldn't have to grow any corn or soybeans this year  :D 8)

Last year I planted a small cherry type tomato in a pot. it didn't get big but produced a lot of little maters. When it died I drug it outside and forgot about it. Last week happened to look out the back B/R window and saw that the dead plant had seeded and now there are 3 new plants all covered with maters. Easiest tomatos I've ever grown.

Ordered seed yesterday, gurney had 50% off anything in the catalog.
