So far I have planted 2 rows of taters, 3 rows of onions, 1 row of beets, & 1 row of cabbage. I'll be starting my tomatos and peppers very soon. Probably a little late but I don't plan to plant them until early May. Everything else will go straight in the ground.
It's a weird weather year, don't be afraid to plant a little late. I just lost all my basil because the weather man missed his low by 3*. Had I known, i woulda carried everything in. My taters that were up got burned on top, but I had mounded them up the day before, so not too bad.Originally Posted by bacpacker

Today I planted mammoth dill, bush beans, immortality herb, another 10 strawberries, I mulched my Nanking cherries which might actually produce a handful of berries this year (yay) I planted a "raspberry Anne" yellow raspberry which brings me to 6 raspberry, 8 blackberry, 3 loganberry, 2 Aronia berry, 3 goji berry, 2 hardy kiwi, 1 grape, 1 plum, 1 peach, 1 fig, 3 Nanking cherry, 1 pear cocktail, and a plum, peach, necatrine cocktail tree. Lots of onions, various herbs, 60 strawberries, lettuce, spinach, 3 kinds of taters (red, purple, white kennebec) pulled a wad of carrots from a global bucket that we planted in the fall and required ZERO maintenance after planting. Lots of maters on the way soon, lost 4 peppers to a late frost this week, so that's awesome.

Carrots in a global bucket??? interesting. how many did you plant in the pail?
Shit! I hadn't thought of running my global buckets indoors in the winter damn!
I'm going to look at a lighting system, and establishing a group of global buckets for next winter. May also have to look at a closed circuit water heating system off 12V too.
Damn... going to start a new thread on this.

I planted a whole package of seeds in this bucket with the intention of thinning it once they got up and running. I didn't get around to thinning it. The painting biz has been so busy, I just never got around to it. The result? I got about 45 carrots. I'd say 10 are regular size 6-10 inch, 20 are 5-6 inch, and 15 were fat little 3-4 inch. We didn't really pant these to have a super supply of carrots, we actually just wanted to see how they'd do in a bucket since we were unimpressed by tomatoes in them.

AK, I typically don't plant some of my stuff, tomatos, peppers, and such until May, so not really worried about being late. I had an Aunt that always said to not plant till the ground gets warm. It just delays the plant growth because of the shock of cold ground.
Sorry to much to retype and re post so... I will cheat jump into my Aquaponics page and have a look see if your interested. https://www.facebook.com/groups/6501...3506076458615/

Awesome! tx.

Got the 9 global buckets in the yard set up yesterday, in the boxes that I made last fall:
I still have to plant flowers in the front to hopefully attract some bees, and add the upper frame to tie the tomatoes to so they don't fall over.
Also got my hoy peppers planted (Ghost, Portuguese, Match, and Jalapino):
No pics yet, but also got my sweet bells planted, and put the critter fences up on my carrots and beets, and hot peppers.
