Spring Plans

[farmertrappe]

finally got my Gurney's catalog and have it alongside with one from Hartmann's plant company. Anyone else starting to think about spring planting yet. I do better with livestock, but will be planting pumpkins again and think I will plant several kind of potatoes to dig as early tators for the market. Toying with adding some more blue berry plants, but to get wholesale prices I will need to get 100 plants. not sure if I want to go that deep, will see.
what are your dreams...Plans.

Plant my arse on the ground against a big tree and sweet talk a long beard or two into gun range, that is my spring plans. I don't think we have plans for a garden this year. Maybe?

Last year was the first time in many that I didn't have a garden. I missed the fresh veggies, so think I am going to do a small scale one this year. Just have to figure our how small.

Last gardening season all my planting decisions were wrong about the weather.. I still did fair all in all..
the coons tore up my corn patch just before harvest time.. I replanted and the crows pulled all of that up..
so this season I must have lots of corn because the freezer is out of it.. and green beans the panty is about empty of that too.. and home canned green beans are the best thing going..

My daughter and son in law live across the street now and are a super big help to me.. so as far as the garden its full speed ahead.. Corn, green beans, okra and Pink eye peas, are going to be my big plantings, I have a pea sheller and sell the peas.. and lots of folks have asked about the corn.. so I will plant plenty of it..

Last fall I hilled up rows, and sowed clover so with the hills the ground will warm up earlier and I can move on with planting sooner than usual this season.. I keep some of my seeds in a suitcase, I checked it last week and its full so I shouldn't need to order seeds for this season.. my freezer has a lot of my saved seeds ready to go too..

Right now I'm busy painting bee hives and building stands for them.. I'm going to be busy this season.. if all my plans work out..

I worked on those coons during season, I hope I have them thinned out now.. I'm sure the possums are..

Good Luck Al

I’ll stuck to a similar plan as last year. Green beans, tomatoes, seeet corn, and some peppers. I’ll fill in the rest with some pumpkins for the kiddos.

I’d love to do more, but the weeds grow faster than I can keep up with them, so this should keep me busy enough.

Going to keep it a bit smaller this year. A few tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants. Squash and cucumbers. Green beans. Sweet potatoes. And lots of salad greens. 
I am going to be expanding my mushroom operation though, more s**ttakes, and going to add both oysters and wine caps to the mix.

Haven't even thought about the garden yet other than putting chicken poop on it all winter, it's still covered in snow but I will put in some things this year.

It's been years since I was involved in any sort of gardening other than moving the wife's plants from inside to out on the deck but this year, think I'm going to try...in a minimal scale and different.  Planning on making some raised beds that are mobile for simple things, i.e. radishes, peppers, onions, carrots and maybe some peas.  Once I get it built, I'll run it past y'all for input.

Going to expand on my automatic watering system, and build a few more raised beds.
