What did you do in the garden today?

[igorsMistress]

WOW! Gorgeous! Our soil won't do carrots. Those are lovely!

Thank you! Ours didn't do carrots well for a long time, this is a very good harvest compared to past years.

Morning Gardeners we are still so darn wet may go in the rubber boots and gloves
and start weeding the tires we have their should be easy with how wet it is

Hello, is there room for me? I brought sourdough starter.

I love this thread so much! I’m new here and actually quite new to gardening as well. I have a 1/8 acre rural development lot that I’m trying to turn into a micro-homestead now that my kiddos are old enough to help out (and be gone for a chunk of the day haha!)

My main goal is to use some permaculture techniques along with some traditional raised bed stuff so that we can grow a good chunk of our food during our somewhat short season.


Just in the last 3 weeks I’ve put in 4 orchard fruit trees and built a compost station out of recycled pallets. The Quack Shack is going up today, and a repurposed bathtub (now duck pond) has gone into the ground with a drain pipe and is ready to rock.

Oh, and I built a second small greenhouse for when my starts are ready to go out.

Now, if only the weather would warm up!

@penny1960 question about growing potatoes in a bag...how tall do you let the tops get before you add more soil?

I just got the news that my mom has to have surgery today at 4:30 to clean out her infected knee. The infection has spread to her blood.

I was taught to add soil you wanted then bury them like 3 potato deep.. wait for the plant to start to turn then dig
