2014 Garden
« Reply #-1 on: March 14, 2014, 12:49:01 PM »
One of the benefits of living in California ... Garden is plowed, prepped, and ready for planting. Finishing up drip irrigation system. Removed grass 2 years ago in the back yard and built the raised beds.  Tomatoes and Summer Squash are planted ...  Smoking Pork Butts in the MAK 2 Star for dinner (under the patio).    :)  8)

Now that's a garden!  I loved when I had room for some raised beds.

I only have room for a couple of 5 gallon container plants and usually only grow a couple of peppers. In the last few days our temps have ranged from 72 to 30 so I haven't planted anything yet.

Nice.

Im in Cali but my season doesnt safely start until Mothers day r/t frost.and my fruit trees already bloomed,its iffy If they will make fruit or die with frost.

My brussels sprout overwintered and is taking off again,and my artichoke died back and is shooting up growth,very cool.My strawberries survived too with new babies.

Happy gardening everyone!  ;D

Pete, I like how you did your drip irrigation system.  Will you cover the beds with some type of mulch?


When we lived in NC I had drip irrigation hooked up to a big barrel where I'd catch rain water.  I loved it!
