Can I plant Winter Greens over my Newly Planted Garlic Bed?
Comments (6)Thank you for the follow up post (laceyvail) but I don't feel like that answered my question. I know its late but gardening is about trial & error? Most of the "Greens" I am planning on planting can survive on less than 10 hours of daylight. In Mass, I still have 10 hours of daylight until mid November and then I never have less than 9 hours even up to the winter solstice so although I agree that my greens will not be their best I do believe they will grow, even getting them in this late. I could get lucky and not see a heavy prolonged freeze for some time. Its a roll of the dice I'm willing to try for a few seeds in trays. What I'm not willing to roll the dice on is ruining my 2015 Garlic crop. So back to my original question: Can I plant on top of my newly seeded garlic? or (to ask a different way), will the roots of leafy greens adversely affect my 2015 Garlic crop, which is planted at a depth of 6-8 inches? Looking forward to hearing from the GW community. Thanks again in advance....See MorePlanting Sweet potatoes in between garlic rows
Comments (18)Planting sweet potatoes involves several steps. Start by preparing a sunny garden bed with loose, well-drained soil. Cut healthy sweet potato slips from mature tubers and allow them to cure for a few days. Plant the slips in the prepared bed, spacing them apart, and water regularly. Harvest sweet potatoes when the foliage starts to die back....See MoreGarlic Planting 2021
Comments (103)My garlic harvest has begun. I harvested both artichoke types (Carpati and Ron's Single Center) and an unidentified hard neck which was growing in a flower bed. It had been there for several years, forming several bulbs which together held numerous large cloves - so I divided & planted them. After observation, and comparing it to varieties I've grown previously, it appears to be Georgian Fire. All bulbs are large & healthy, in spite of the waterlogged soil surrounding the box... the raised bed made all the difference. @OldDutch (Zone 4 MN), your call earlier in this thread was right on. The volunteer was a porcelain type, and did size up really well - basically full size. And a variety I had planned to re-acquire! :-)...See MoreOnion Talk for year 2022
Comments (21)Lynn, I have the same problem with onions. I think that I have a lot more problems with disease because of wet soil. I need to rotate also, but my house gardens are small, the two together are only about 2500 sq. ft. Some crops need a trellis, some crops like better soil, then I have peas and okra that will grow about anywhere, but if I can get all soil in top shape I think I can rotate crops easier. What I am trying to do is place trellises about 6 or 7 feet apart so I can till between them. With the trellises about 12 inches above the soil and 7 ' apart I can till very close to the trellis with the tractor, then work under the trellis by hand. If I have more trellises than I need it gives me more options. The crops that dont need a trellis can still be planted next to a trellis, and I can use the trellis for support when I harvest the peas, or what ever I have planted there. I got my compost pile turned, I had to air up 3 tractor tires before I could start the task. I think I have a larger supply of compost and mulch than I have ever had, but I suppose that is a good thing because it seems that those thing are harder to find, plus cost more. I just noticed the min/max thermometer and it looks as though I should have tilled yesterday, the temp is dropping, and we may have snow before I get a chance to till again....See Morezeedman Zone 5 Wisconsin
