Nope we have a fairly clay soil but I had some crazy compost along with sand delivered. The beets, onions, parsnips, leeks and carrots all like little to no food and a heavy sand so I ammended their section with 3yards of sand and little to no compost
My plot is 145' x 30'
And yeah gilavina I think our gardens sound almost identical! I forgot aobut the kholrabi and sprouts and I won't even go into the soft fruits
...... aronia, beautyberry, white, red and black currants, raspberries, salmon berries, blueberries, strawberries and yeah few fruit trees! That's a different garden for me though.
I wish I could snag enough space around the place tho have a garden that big, but I use raised beds so I can really pack things in there haha. What are the kinds of potatoes you are growing. I tell myself every year I am going to try more varieties and then I see the price tags on some of the ones I want to try and go into sticker shock and then quickly move back to the ones I can readily get at a cheap price.
I'm still working on building up my orchard. Last year I lost an apple tree that was about 30 years old. It was completely ripped out about 2 feet below ground by some really severe winds last fall. So I've got 3 apple trees...one old and two new, and other trees such as pears, peaches, plums, cherries, etc...the bushes and cane crops I'm still developing. I've got gooseberries, blackberries, grapes, blueberries, cranberries....and am eyeing some others that I have to prepare spaces for...the "orchard" is on the south side of the house in a microclimate and it does extremely well. I also keep my small greenhouse down there which I keep pretty full all year long. Which berry is your favorite and just couldn't live without?
and by the way...was it you that I saw on here that had salmon Marans...? either eggs or chicks? or something like that? I've had a dickens of a time getting my hands on any reliable resource for silver salmons....yarg
