garden:have 4 4'x18" SFG raspberry beds ready for starts tomorrow. I will be getting these from a neighbor. have 3 4'x18" SFG strawberry beds ready for starts tomorrow. from a different neighbor. of course, one already has some plants from last year. my potato garbage can is ready for that experiment. I axed gashes in the bottom and buried the can 6 inches into the ground. We get some mighty strong winds here and I do not want them being blown over. I filled it with water yesterday to see if it drains effectively. It stood there last night as I was watching it (clay soil) but it was drained and dry this afternoon. I think that should keep it moist enough once I start filling it with soil and straw and potatoes. I am getting two more gabage cans off of freecycle thursday, so I will get those ones ready this weekend. I will plant red, russet and yukon in different cans. I have 12 squares of peas. some are coming up and some are not. I am worried about these - they should be big by now. 1 SF of beets 1SF of onions 1 SF of spinach 1 SF of romaine (I will plant more next week for a staggered harvest) and 3 SF of carrots in an extra tall 3'x1' box I think I will do 4 SF of tomatoes, vertically. My other tomato plants I want to experiment with the upside down in a bucket idea. Also, 16 SF of corn. the SFG book says that you can do one plant per foot or four. one seems not really worth the effort, but 4 might get kind of crowded. maybe I will do two.... oh, cucumbers... where am I to put those? 12 of melon/pumpkin/cucumber.... gee, these get fewer and fewer each time I think of them! I keep remembering something else that needs to grow vertically up on the north face of my beds.... Leave a Comment { Last Page } { Page 58 of 248 } { Next Page } |
