Gardens? Anyone got them?

No, shipping is too expensive. I suggest buy as local as you can!

 

Just showed my wife your setup and she is super impressed with the way that you have the plants planted within the pallets!

 

Thank you. Super easy to do and free! Sure makes planting in rows easy too.

 

We have found that our tomato and pepper plants do better in their own containers......that means we are already planning next year's grow. We have a chance for storms later today so making sure the damage is minimal is important forethought.

 

Good luck with the storm, that would make me really mad if my stuff got ruined, and especially if I had a garden like yours.

Look around for pallets in your area, you could stack them, break them up, it's free wood and usually oak which lasts a long time. Easy and cheap way to make separate planters for different plants.

 

I/we have stock in a couple huge gardens in Canada?? Does that count?? I don’t water or turn dirt neither!!

 

Depends on the garden....

 

Mine told me the same thing. I bought a Prius and it brought my levels back down overnight.

 

Anyone know how to kill asparagus? I've tried round up, and fire. Neither worked permanently.

 

It's been a rough year for my garden. I was able to get most the early stuff (onions, peas, carrots, lettuce, spinich, broc, cauli) in mid-April like usual. Then the rain set in and I didn't get everything else (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, brussels sprouts, beans, cukes, eggplant, corn, pumpkins, watermelon) planted until mid-June. Usually everything is in by Mother's Day.

Here was the garden when I woke up yesterday morning after we got 1.5" of rain, 4" in 72hrs, on already saturated soil. And more rain is on the way. The late stuff planted a week ago was just coming up. We'll see if it survives.



We also have raspberries, grapes, 5 different kinds of apples, pears, peaches, cherries, and blueberries. The blueberries are doing pretty good this year and are just starting to ripen.

 

How many times have you sprayed it? You may need to hit it 3-4 times a year for a couple years. I would also look into using something in addition to roundup, like 2-4D, which may be more effective one asparagus. But I really don't know for sure...

 

Dig it up.

 

Look at companion planting, some stuff helps others, some things inhibit others.

 

I could spray more, but it's right in the middle of the back yard grass. Trying to not kill all the grass. I use 2-4d for weeds and I've soaked it pretty good to no avail.

 

This would be the best, but the roots are deep as hell. They just keep coming back

 

And they will continue to come back until they are physically removed, and deported.

 

Little hazelnut orchard planted this spring

Here’s the first raised bed, plan on building 1 more each year...

Here’s the plot I fenced and share with my sons family...

 

I come from a farming town, and that is pretty damn impressive for a home garden. Really nice job Ray

 

Thanks!
It’s been pretty busy, building, planting and still taking time to go fishing, crabbing, clamming, and mushroom hunting. Plus I have learned how to make old style sourdough bread. Now that my shop is built, I should be able to get the forge and wood working equipment set up. Plan start brewing beer soon also.
Got some artichokes, and Marion berries started this spring too...

 

Damn you've got a lot of balls in the air man.i thought I was connected with the outdoors by making syrup for 2 months a year and planting flowers and veggies (4ftx 8ft raised bed made of pallets) in my yard. Not even close to what you're doing. Very cool lifestyle but a lot of work to live it. Kudos to you

 

I have never understood the folks that say they are bored with retirement and don’t know what to do!

 

Starting my garden

 

Very nice indeed. I like the way your garden is fenced off.

 

Need an r/c boat to harvest now. I only kid, we would be pissed if that happened to ours!

 

Good looking ladies.....hopefully you know their sex!

 

only lost 4

 

Hell of a garden man! I also love i'm not the only one that appreciates artichokes. My plant produced like crazy this year, that's why I let a bunch of them flower!

 

The longer the veg the more bountiful harvest you shall reap.
