Maude & other Early Birds -Have You Planted Peas Yet? Potatoes?
Comments (9)Thawk, You have radishes and beets up already? That is awesome. When did you plant them? Maude, We have 5 big gardens (not enough LOL) so hand spading is out of the question. Besides hubby dearly loves getting out there with his tractor and plow/disk. Actually had an extension agent tell us that we wouldn't have much trouble with - oh, what is the name of that stuff tomatoes got so bad last year, wilt?, - staying in the ground because we fall plow. There is something to it, as he was also surprised that we could raise canteloupe. Good rotation practices and fall plowing must be the keys. You are so right about the hard pan. Brother in law had a farmer come in and chisel-plow his garden spot. We don't seem to have much trouble, rarely ever water anything either. Need to get to Chamness in Eddyville and get some more of their inexpensive compost. Black Gold :) Do you have a heat source in your greenhouse? Hubby is in the process of building one, 6'x8'. And please tell me more about growing sweet potatoes...I have developed a taste for them, but have never grown them. Do they get planted in early spring too? SOS...See MoreEarly spring planting at a school
Comments (1)This forum is never very active. SInce you've planted vegetables, I suggest posting on that forum, they can help you more. I don't have much experience with veggies, but have a new bed so maybe next year I'll know more. I know the peas should be fine, as they do well in cool soil....See Morecan we start spring planting early
Comments (13)I planted my tomato seedlings in mid December and have potted up twice on them. They were coming close to being root bound in the 5" diameter pots I have so I put them in the ground on groundhog's day weekend because the groundhog says no more winter. Haha. My mistake cause this week its suppose to get in the 30s and low 40s. So I'll be running Chirstmas lights along the ground and putting painters tarp on top of the 12 tomato plants I have in ground tomorrow. FYI: If you live in the city of Pflugerville or Round Rock, the cities have mulch and waste compost for free for citizens. I didn't know this and have made a couple of trips out there to get mulch....See MoreWhat seeds r u planting now this early warm spring?
Comments (7)Is it time for green beans yet? It's my first year in this climate so I'm pretty clueless. I wintersowed most of my seeds, so they've been able to make up their own minds, but everyone tells me to direct sow beans... I have a ton of wintersowed broccoli up, which I've been transplanting out to the garden. My onions are coming on strong and hollyhocks are close behind....See MorePaul NY 5b-6a
