She isn't mine. Don't have any chickens yet. Need to be out of the military before I start the chicken adventure.

Over the last two weeks we have installed 3 more raised beds, totaling 6 now. Also have pulled up the beans, a bug got to them, and corn to get the bed ready for fall planting. Attempting a last minute try at some unique squash I got from a friend, he had a large number of volunteers in his...

Finished filling the three raised beds I installed last weekend. Turned the compost, almost ready to be used. Getting everything for our fall planting, this next week.

Harvested onions, garlic, carrots, a zucchini, some coolpeños, some bell peppers, some strawberries, some blueberries, and some blackberries. Also installed another reason barrel and tired it into the existing one. Just have install the other reason barrel and tie it into others. I am quite...

Sound like your soil is either too sandy out you are using old seed. Aside from that I don't really know.

Before 7:30 this morning watered and harvested. Boy did I harvest. A cuke, zucchini, about a half dozen coolpeños, some blueberries, a couple of cherry tomatoes, and all of our beets. Looks like some yummy salads and such shortly in the future. Will likely harvest carrots and garlic tomorrow. A...

Looking forward to some rain this afternoon and tomorrow. Harvested a few blueberries and a cherry tomato. Did usual weeding and bug massacre. Not much today, but still lovely to be out there given I am recovering from a shoulder surgery.

I keep seeing people planting dill. Does it have some big repellant properties or something that I am missing? Please inform me

Harvested a cherry tomato, and some coolpeños. Also did my daily murder spree of bugs, silly things think is their garden.

Would love some help. We planned some Beauregard Sweet Potatoes about 2 weeks ago and are really looking forward to the harvest. We have a concern about the leaves though. I can find nothing that says the leaf color we have, see picture, is normal. Or concern is that there is something we are...

Picked up some blackberries on Tuesday and have been trying to figure out where we are going to put them. They may stay potted until we get the apple trees planted and then they can go in between the trees. Please chime in and let me know if that is a terrible idea, the trees will be dwarf...

Weeding is a daily task, which is mildly off putting to my family. I am in the military and they kind of have a hard time with Daddy getting home, immediately changing clothes and going out to the garden to decompress. We had an absolute boat load of some trees, thinking elm and sweet gum, seeds...

Yesterday, yes I know it is for today but I couldn't help myself, we planted 8 bags (we use, for the time being, 5 gallon grow bags) of lettuce, 5 bags of okra, 7 bags of kale, 2 bags of spinach, and i am likely forgetting something. Also build, installed, and leveled 2 3x6 raised beds this...

I am in the Augusta area and tried a bit of an experiment with greenhouses. We decided to start some daikon, radish, right before that big cold insanity hit us. We use 5 gallon grow bags, because they give us a plug-and-play SFG, and thought that using a clear sterilite container would give us...

We actually started out with putting agribon over our beds, if you are interested then you can poke over to my website in my profile, and that worked half decent but I do not think we will do it again next year. We will hopefully, says small prayer, be in a house next year and will have actual...
