Farming, Gardening & Homesteading

Finally got the rest of the cinder blocks set around the perimeter of the garden today.

 

Getting ready for spring planting, amending the soil




Starting seedlings- tomatoes, bell peppers,okra. and more taters

 

Guess I'm doing something right
Since Workcomp cut me off I paid for my chiropractic visit today with a head of cabbage, some collards, kale, and a couple carrots. Doc said it covered today and next week's visit. Thank God for bartering.

 

That is amazing. I cannot imagine that happening here in Massivetwoshits

 

I'm just thankful that she's the one who brought it up

 

Experimenting with some irrigation ideas today, and added some more compost to the new bed.

Taters starting to put on leaves, okra's and mater's starting to sprout.



And trimmed up my thyme

 

Niiccceeee !!! We're getting another 4 inches of snow tonight...

 

Stop planting snowballs then
Still a chance for another frost here, waiting for the pecans to bud before I really start planting.

 

@STPNWLF your garden setup is off the charts awesome!

 

Thanks, it's still a work in progress

 

Still getting ready for spring planting
Today's progress




Peppers haven't popped yet

Relocated the oreagor from the trouph to pot

Time to harvest cabagca and collards to make way for the 3 sisters

And harvest some dandelion greens

 

Noticed the pecan trees are starting to bud when I went to get the newspaper for the folks this morning, time to get busy

 

Harvested the cabbages and collards (transplanted one of each) also some carrots. Mulched the extra greenery and buried in bed 1 for nutrients.






Planted the Ichiban eggplants,pearl okra, and yellow unjun's.


Prepped the west ground bed for the three sisters and planted the corn seeds.
Planted radishir on the south side of the west ground bed in the cinder blocks, and green onion/scaloscal and pickle cucumbers in the cinder blocks on the west side.

 

Got irrigation sorted out today

Awesome work STPNWLF

 

I'm starting to get the hang of it, it's paying the chiropractic bill for now

 

With Stumpy around your gonna have zero pests in your garden!

 

LOL
Stumpy's not alone his little brother also lives in the garden, along with several toads and an army of ladybugs that winter'd in the tool shed.
