Garden Pictures 2021

[public hermit]

I'm going to post my garden pictures. I wish y'all would, too.

I had to replant the middle rows (Southern State's seeds ain't much to speak of), so they're a bit behind. The spring garden is popping though, and the summer garden (back of the spread) is planted, sans tomatoes and potatoes. They're coming soon.

For what I’m planting, still too early for my planting zone. But I will post my babies As the time comes! Super excited!

Btw @public hermit ... what is your planting zone? I know you are further south than I am. I’m in zone 5.

I'm in 7b. I plant my spring garden in mid-late March. Sometimes it's a gamble, but I like to live on the edge, lol.

I knew you were a daredevil! I start in house if it is coming from seed. Otherwise it is a trip to the greenhouse and planting around Mother’s Day.

I probably should start my seedlings, but I'm either too lazy or, I'm just too lazy. But, true story, I always think I should plant starters and not seeds.

We will soon be starting our garden also and my mom has already started planting flowers.

I’ve done both but have not noticed much difference in my area either way. I have some seedlings in my sunroom but it It’s always risky given the critters I have that go in and out of my house. I have a trusted greenhouse owned by people I go to Church with. I’m willing to pay for their effort and less stress for me given I foster so many animals.

The spring garden in the front: cabbage, collards, two rows of lettuce, spinach, onion, and a couple beats.

The early summer garden in the back: okra, summer squash, zucchini, egg plant, cucumber, green beans, tomatoes, and potatoes. They're just starting to pop.

Did you get yours planted? What do you have in the ground?

Did you get yours planted? What do you have in the ground?

I have several varieties of tomatoes, cucumbers, several varieties of peppers, zucchini, and yellow squash. Then I have my flowers and fruit trees and bushes.

Everything veggie is planted.

I considering changing how I garden using perma-forsting techniques. I was surprised to learn I was already using these for some of our gardens, our tree gardens. Still our land is heavy in clay and shale so very few vegetables can be grown in this soil without pre-treating them. I thinking of growing lettuce in garden soil bags. Then when the season over dump the bag into the grass and feed the grass.
