Thread: What's going on in your garden?

  1. #1

    Default What's going on in your garden?

    I've planted tomatos, lettuce, onions and peppers and beans. Maybe some others I've forgotten. It's still a week before my last frost date, but I'm living on the edge. LOL.

    Today I was out there and notice some sprouting. I had mulch that I'd made from some old limbs and branches nearby so I surrounded the sprouts with wood chips. I've never used wood mulch in my garden before, usually I use hay or shredded paper, it was just a spur of the moment mulching. I googled this to see if it was a bad idea to use wood mulch in the garden and didn't see any reason that it would be.

    Mine are moving ahead well with Onions, mint and recently brought up roses, pink color my favorite. I helped out my neighbours who planted out tulips in their backyard.

    The majority of my veg are now in, though I have some more potatoes to plant and a whole pile of seedlings which will be ready in a day or two.

    It's hard to get all the tilling done for my vegetable garden because it keeps raining. I was out there tilling for a few hours this evening and I finally got all my tomatoes planted.

    Where does mint like to grow?

    Thanks for the response about the sunlight. I've heard mint can be invasive. I planted some in a spot where nothing else will grow. It only lasted a few years there. Sunlight wasn't the issue in that particular spot. I think I need something with very shallow roots because there is concrete 6 -8 inches under the dirt.

    Thinking of growing some cherry guavas and papayas.. they're more tropical and I live in Cypress -- bad idea?

    Default Still snow here

    We woke up to snow Sunday. Although it has been a warm winter I don't plan on putting plants out until April.

    Started my Cabbage, Broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprout seeds. Hope to plant them in the hoop house in April. Come on Spring!

    I'm just starting my first garden. Though I have big plans . Tomatos, bok choy, carrots, onions, peas, beans, corn, and the list goes on. I've been double digging for the last few nights getting ready for the season.

    Cabbage and broccoli plants have germinated. Has anyone had good success with broccoli in the spring?

    First time vegetable gardener here. I was looking for some tips online when I stumbled into the gardening blog and found it to be very helpful!

    I have about an acre of Texas Hill Country to work with, but also have 3 dogs and a rich variety of local critters, so I chose to get started on the deck on the roof of my house... maybe a bit ambitious, but I'm starting out with a container garden: green beans, black beans, carrots, green onions, tomatoes, jalapenos, serranos, chiles, bell peppers as well as 2 large pots for pumpkins and watermelons of which all have emerged and are starting to grow I also planted a couple varieties of grapes. I'm also thinking of adding some herbs soon. My wife thinks we are going to have a jungle up there... and truth be told that's what I am going for! I have 3 munchkins to help with watering and a degree in plant pathology which I hope will pay some dividends down the road. We will see how it goes, but I'm thrilled to be off and going with this new endeavor. Bring on the veggies and fruits!!!
