6 quarts of berries today, I think we are around 20 quarts total. Not bad for starting with just 6 plants two springs ago Bob how's your garden? Img_2043

sweet - I don't plant fruits/vegetables, though.

I specialize more in annuals, perennials, love some flowing parts of the estate now that the miscanthis grasses are taking off. Looks like the daylillies will flower in the next 10 days or so. I transplanted a lot last fall, so it's fun seeing how those plants have found their way. Gotta trim up a smokebush (my favorite plant we have - it reflects nicely against the house) - it's practically covering a picture window but that does, obviously, grant us privacy. Rudbeckia are coming up nicely.. thinking about putting a Bradford pear tree in a certain part of the lawn but will wait until fall, as the hot summer temps can compromise the root system.

what sort of berries do you have?

Ill be honest I have no idea what brand we bought at the green house. First batch of radishes have started too, picked 12 this morning those are the cherry belles. I have three different plantings going of those

very cool.

every spring, my wife (who I adore, by the way) always talks big about planting some vegetables or even herbs. I'll tell her how to do it, what will grow best in a zone 5, how to protect her plants from varmints, etc. She always has this look of "sounds like a lot of work".

clearly she wants me to do it. She works very hard in other aspects of her life, I just always maintain the gardens, the lawn, the driveway in the winter, etc - funny how after nearly 30 years of wedded bliss you just kinda fall into certain responsibilities.

Varmits are the tough part. I've got strawberries, potatoes, watermelon, muskmelon, cucumbers, green peppers , broccoli, tomatoes and cherry tomatoes this year. Didn't hear anything about not planting pumpkins who grow everywhere. Build her a raised bed that she can start small in, weeds and varmits shouldn't be as bad. Ive got about 15 foot high mesh fence because of the deer lol

Ahhhh garden chit chat eh. I 've got a veggie herb garden. Tomatoes (Roma, cherry and San Marzano), cucumbers (sumpter and straight 8), sugar snap peas, green beans, bell peppers, zucchinis, crookneck squash, beets, lettuce, marijuana, basil, cilantro, garlic, dill, parsley, mint, thyme and a couple of big sunflowers. I've got 6 foot tall wired fencing wrapping around it that keeps everything but bugs and birds out.

first time doing it, got cloves from a local nursery and threw them in a container. Was told to plant the clove pointy-side up about two inches down and two inches apart from eachother in October in well-mulched soil, and they've emerged this spring. I cut some of the flowers off the top since its supposed to make the bulbs bigger and healthier. They're about ready to get pulled out now. I had seen a video saying you could just take a clove from your grocery store garlic but the experts say its usually not a good idea for a multitude of reasons.

It's currently in its a vegetative state but once it starts flowering it will begin to bud. Ya gotta wait for the right time to harvest then you gotta dry and cure them. Hang them from a clothesline at like 50 percent humidity for a few days until you can snap the branches clean. Then you can store them in whatever you want, I keep several wide mouthed mason jars and fill it 3/4 up

I was told that the poppies I have been growing at my parent's house in EL have finally bloomed...I planted those things from seeds about 20 years ago and at times I wish they were the good poppies... There is also a pine tree in the front yard that I planted in middle school from a sapling we took home form earth day in I think 1991ish. Glorious looking tree that I thought at some point some asshole would cut down for an epic Xmas tree.

Nice

Got into the flower gardening a few years ago, potted flowers on the deck and around the landscape. I find it to be an incredible stress reliever. The yellow daylillies are in full swing. Orange ones are starting to bud up now too. Need to hit those with the natural deer repellent tonight before it is too late. Been a good year for dahlias, gerber daisies  and marigolds because of all the sun. I might even get a sunflower to pop this year (they have been my nemesis).  Not so much for the inpatients. Had some casualties with the inpatients early on, but the ones that made it through are staying strong.

Did some lettuce, spinach, broccoli, potatoes, tomatoes (Bob how's your garden? 1401550746) peppers and spices for the first time this year.  Started cultivating the spices, lettuce and spinach. Broccoli stalks are getting big, but haven't seen any broccoli yet. Not sure what to look for here, just playing it by ear.

The deer staying away?

In the area they where it is planted, yes. But it could also be because that is also where I take my nightly natural breaks and it they closer to the house. Fuckers got to some of my shit away from the house that I have not been "treating" a couple of days ago. Rosemary and marigolds are supposed to work to.  I cut some of those up and spread them around the other plants. Seemed to work last night at least. Marigolds put off a heavy scent when cut. Thyme does to, I might try that as well. Citronella also puts out a strong scent and I have one of those by the deck to (allegedly) keep the mosquitoes away. I may give that a whirl as well.

I've also heard human hair works to keep the deer away as well.

Nice, how do you smoke them?

Usually in a juicy jay but zig zags in a pinch is fine.

In the area they where it is planted, yes. But it could also be because that is also where I take my nightly natural breaks and it they closer to the house. Fuckers got to some of my shit away from the house that I have not been "treating" a couple of days ago. Rosemary and marigolds are supposed to work to.  I cut some of those up and spread them around the other plants. Seemed to work last night at least. Marigolds put off a heavy scent when cut. Thyme does to, I might try that as well. Citronella also puts out a strong scent and I have one of those by the deck to (allegedly) keep the mosquitoes away. I may give that a whirl as well.

I've also heard human hair works to keep the deer away as well.

Will give it a whirl. I put some potted marigolds out by the daylillies last night. No further damage done last night and just heard the culprit grunting in the woods when I went out and checked. So it seemed to work.

Posting in a gardening thread, on a day off, before 7am...turning into tGreenway more and more everyday.
