BYC gardening thread!!

We just planted six blueberry bushes! And to do that we had to get rid of all of the tree-roots where were planting. (that took a really long time) The chickens kept getting in our way so I had to restrain them. One chicken in my right arm, one chicken in my left arm. Here's a pic of a really big root that my dad pulled up.

Wow! That must have taken forever. Good job

I wish you the best on your six blueberry bushes. WARNING: The need quiet a bit of sun. We had a lot of trouble growing them! Good Luck!

No problem.
Yesterday we planted Lettuce, Swiss chard, and trimmed some of our orchard!

I garden...veggies, flowers & fruit trees. This is going to be the best year yet. Ordered 2 cherry trees in December (not a local find here), they're filling in beautifully already! We have a pineapple guava that's doing great, an orange tree, grapefruit tree, kumquat tree, peach tree, avacado tree & few loquat trees. 2 veggie gardens the hubby made for me, one smaller one out front and a large one outback with the chickens (which gave me their 1st egg today! No April fool's egg song

today! Hehe. In the smaller garden I do raised rows. Ready right now I have Arugals, romaine lettuce, sugar peas, swiss chards, garlic, leeks, red leaf lettuce. Have a rows of herbs-cilantro, oregano, parsley,dill, mint , Basil & thyme. Still growing (seedlings went in the ground week before easter) broccoli, cabbage, cherry toms, jubilee toms, purple bell peppers, orange bell peppers, red onions, Alaskan peas, yellow squash, cucumbers, red cabbage & purple tomatillos.

In the larger garden I have multiple boxes. Far upper left is potatoes, radish (for eating.) & Alaskan peas (planted with potatoes for nitrogen feeding) mums are here n there for pest control. The top box holds an asparagus bed 1st year, cosmos, a few broccoli, jalopanos & radish (for trap crop). Big box holds excess seedlings, artichoke, watermelon and cantalope. I keep an empty box as a nursery for over abundance of started seeds, moved plants or use as an area to depot without mess. Lol so far so good this year! Hope it all hangs in there! Louisiana weather can get brutal!
