2019 Gardens

[bacpacker]

I thought I would put a thread out for this years gardens. What seeds are you ordering? What do you plan to plant this year? Anyone got started yet, or have plants started in a greenhouse or under lights?

Post up what you have going on.

Well I posted a picture of what I currently have going but once I get the beds built I will be adding these.

The left hand ones are my daughter's picks. The right are mine and I'll be getting a lot of others as well. Got 5 acres to play with.

5 acres allows for quite a bit of variety. Thats what I have as well. Wish I had more and was middle of no where. But I am happy with what I have.
Tell us a little about your new place when you have a time.

Trees that is a priority this year. We are looking at least 5 to 10 apple, 5 cherry, 5 apricots, 5 to 10 almonds. As for the garden we have asparagus which is four years old. Most people say it has a lifespan of about 10 years so I wanted to start some more. We will also be planting more artichokes.

The usual stuff will be string beans, cucumbers, sugar peas, bell peppers, onions, garlic, more strawberries, tomatoes, jalapenos, cilantro, basil, zucchini, yellow squash, pumpkins, broccoli, Brussel sprouts and maybe some okra.

We don't plant corn it takes up too much room.

We pretty much have most trees I want, but will probably still add more. Found some toothache trees on my property and still want a willow for the asprin like qualities. But after helping my neighbor the other day he sent me home with a bunch of equipment and has more he wants to give me. I told him that he didn't need to give me anything, but he insisted. Still has a walk behind mower, a tall diesel tank, and lots of other stuff he wants me to have. Should be able to make some bigger gardens now.

Here is my current little garden, still need to put up the fence to keep the chickens out.

Those tillers and disc will make tearing ground up a whole lot easier. That disc looks nearly unused. The scallops are still very deep. I also like the adjustment for changing the angle of the disc rows. Mine pivots on the inside end and have a three position pin on the outer ends. Yours go much further.

The trees are what I'm pushing as well, plus bushes such as blueberry and honeyberries. Hopefully more to come. I have my onion order placed, one batch due in about a month, 2nd batch around 1st of May. I plan to plant cabbage by March as well.

Yes sir. Spent most of last week fixing his road. It is muddy as hell. He brought in 3 loads of rocks and I been spreading them out.

Truck got stuck.

Helo I'm the same way with trees. However I have this thing I feel the need to plant more up at our rural property maybe not for me but for my grand kids. That was a score on the equipment. Nothing like getting a truck stuck full of gravel, not good.
