Any of you garden? What are you planning on growing?

Oh yeah! My chickens have my veggie garden pretty well weeded out. I buy starts of tomato and peppers, my neighbor Bernie usually gives me tons of cabbage family starts and the peas and beans I plant in the ground. Actually Bernie gave me green bean transplants last year and they did very well. I always heard you couldn’t transplant them.

We tried the big garden thing first year.. Went bad real fast. Next year went got a bunch of dead tires.. Have added to that most every year just the right height not allot of weeding.

I have a few different squash Im planting. I have to expland the garden. Mom liked the baked potato squash I tried last year so I'll plant a 50 foot row on the back of the silkie pens. I can put the lakota squash there as well as I don't care about the cross pollination as one is a hybrid and the other Im just trying. The buttercup squash will be going elsewhere.

Some early tomatoes, 2 types of peppers, short carrots. Foxtail millet for the silkies. Buckwheat, grain amaranth, spinach, sorrel, leeks, sweet corn. Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cucumbers, peas, beans.

Im trying cardoons this year. They should do fine as it's the stem we eat and not the flower like artichokes.

The bottle gourds I'll be starting next month. They take the longest to mature even though they are small ones. I want good sized starts to put out as soon as I can.

I have all my seeds already. Yes it will be a pretty big garden. I have lots of space to expand.

Currently in the garden: kale, green onions, kohlrabi, plus some late seeded cabbage, carrots which may or may not grow once it warms up. Started asparagus last year as well. Kale's pretty much the only green I get all winter.

I have currently starting indoors: peppers, eggplant, basil, chives. I'll start tomatoes next month.

Seeding direct to garden once it thaws out a bit: peas, lettuce, radish, bok choy and a few other greens. Then from there would be carrots, chard, squash, celery, spinach, cabbage, mustard, turnips, beets, broccoli, beans...

It has been nothing but overcast/foggy for two weeks straight! I am sick of it! Can't wait u till spring. Hatching chickens, gardening.. SUN!

We had sun today. It was painful on the eyes. Then I had to drive in it.

I got to feel like a drug dealer as pretty much all our meds were up for refill so I had a big brown bag from the base pharmacy. Hubby and I are good for 3 months, though.
