Anyone starting your gardens yet?
« Reply #-1 on: April 16, 2016, 08:13:10 PM »
I'd like to hear about yours.

So far my biggie is my home done seeds from last years plants ,got really good germination.They are ready to transplant from seedling plugs into 6 packs. Very exciting,my first on doing so many saved seeds.

I have at least maybe 7-8 different tomatoes,3 different peppers up,3 to come.Tomatillos for salsa's.Marygolds,black eyed susans.

Wish me luck on them continuing to grow,i need it.

Oh,and my rhubarb I divided up are coming back gangbusters,if everything grew like they do I'd have my own Gardening TV show,LOL!

Take care all,  :)

I worked my little 4X8 ft. raised bed garden up today. I will put 6 tomato plants out. I like to wait until May to plant. May 15th is frost free date here in Ohio. Don

Don, U put out maters already?  I have herbs returning, thyme, parsley, mint, lemon balm & tons of chives, rhubarb is up already, my rosemary made it thru the winter..first time for that. I'm finding that a lot of herbs like shade better..go figure. Been dumping cut up banana peels and coffee grounds and crushed egg shells in the garden all winter..work it in and I'm ready to plant in a 4x8" raised bed.    .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

It is Sweetie's garden which she plants and nurtures.
I am just the builder and the tiller, ;D

Nice garden Art. I wish I had room for a garden here in this townhouse, I normally have a couple of 5 gallon pots with peppers and sometimes Roma tomatoes.

Pam,have you divided your rhubarb? At end of season last year just ran a shovel down the middle of a large plant,and plant that half elsewhere.Works great.That rhubarb is a great plant for cold weather climes,it always comes back for me at my place next season.

Spuds..rhubarb is very easy to propagate..just like you said, can't have too much of it and mine is coming up already, won't be long for rhubarb pie. I'm ready.  .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

The grandson was down Wed. after school and helped me haul 3 wheel barrow loads of good dirt from the bottom of my compost pile. He spread it around my 4X8 food garden. I will work it up in a couple of weeks and get tomatoes out. That is all I do anymore; need garden tomatoes for BLT's!. Don

All this rhubarb talk inspired me to post the best rhubarb recipe I've ever tried. Check it out in the dessert section. It's a bit of a hassle but so worth it!

I don't really have a garden but I do have some things started in pots and I repurpose the fire pit in summer.
This is the fire pit, squash and zuks in there...

Moms roses that still haven't found a perminent home.

This is the third year for this Rosemary

Basil and yellow bell peppers

These Lilly's came from my grandmothers. They were started back in the early 1950s . I just hope I can keep them going...

I have a couple tomatoes . One red cherry , one black cherry and a big boy. And a few strawberries.

Thats a lot of plants for someone who says he doesn't have a garden!!!
