what you gonna grow for this season part 2

Post by Lrus007 »

got my onion seed today. is planted and under a dome.
noticed some garlic missing. think wet weather got them.
did not get my barrels covered for winter. all sunk down
about a foot. so need to top them off. got a bag of sand
at store. will mix some of that with soil for the carrots.
got my 3 1/2 barrels all dug and cleaned up for yacons.
next nice day will top off 2 barrels. get them ready for
planting. other ones can wait. fluffed and raked poppy
plot again. 2nd week of march can plant poppys, carrots
and my potatos. come on spring.
:whistle:

Cool , do you start the garlic from seeds or do you just always break up cloves ?
I'm currently turning over my garden now hoping to get it done before the last snow to help work the snow in too. It seems to be my experience snow is a good Amendment. I think it's in the Farmer's Almanac.
Anyway it takes about 2 months for the garden amendments, meals n manure, to 'cook' before ideal for planting

The plant is essentially telling the bee I'm out of pollen come back later.

Thanks, think I'll do that, simplifies.
Cool I've got onion and leek seeds I'm starting shortly, thought garlic might be a good thing to add. Need to fill the small square holes with onion like plants. Earwigs left he leeks alone, but decimated the lettuce and cabbage sooo. onions types it is.

the new garlic is late. others were not looking well. i try
to plant near xmas for garlic. talking gardening with a old
lady in germany. she had been to my state a few years said
we have almost same weather. she told me to plant garlic
near xmas. when ever ground is not froze. i most years have
a booming crop most years. the rest of it was to bend the tops
on 1st of july and pull a week later. i just spent some time and
read all about onions from seed and such. always planted sets.
last years onions did not keep well at all. so found a good storage
onion. was only seeds no sets. reading about onions in a local garden
book. they said to plant onion seeds and let biggest one go to seed
for the next years seed. seeds don't store well. you only need to do
that the 1st year. after that let any 1 of them go to seed. the reason
they say to plant from seed is it's a 1st year onion. where onion sets are
a 2nd year onion. that is why so many go to seed from sets.love learning
new shit.

I have potatoes started, a month ago, and found a big spud in the bag that was full of eyes, so I planted that one the day.
I planted garlic and leeks, back in late November, early December, in a raised bed. I had layered leaves, over them after planting, then laid a some garden wire down over the pill for winter.
Tulips are poking up, in ground and my pots, so I looked under the leaves and see garlic shoots emerging. I really planted those bulbs deep to.

parsley taking it's time. onions have sprouted well a few have
should be more. going to move them to tubes soon.
replanted 2 different peppers 1 had came up but the seed
casing never came off. so after a week it keeled over. i can
tell it's going to be a odd year. i am going to wait to plant my
carrots and potato's by a month. planted a few flower seeds.
