Planning the garden

[Admin]

As soon as my fields dry up I'll be firing up the binford 2000 and chewing up the landscape ;D Planning a good garden this year. I'm figuring on about 50 tomato plants, 60 peppers, 60 broccoli, tons of bush beans and pole beans, Zukes, Summers, butternuts, pumpkins and cukes. Also a few dozen cabages and about a 1/4 acre of corn. Yup that oughtta keep me busy

What ya all planting?

Dude that is alot of garden!!!!!

I have about fifty tomatoes started, all romas. I'll have a few rows of potatoes, and some mounds of sweet potatoes. We usually grow about 2 dozen broccoli plants, some zukes and cukes. I like to throw onion sets in any available space and pull them young. We grow brussel sprouts evey year also. Eight rows of corn at thirty foot is usally more than we can use.

I'll fart around with leaf lettuce, radishes, and beats also.


Hope everyone has a healthy, enjoable garden!

I'm not a veggie eater!(except for corn and taters) But I plant corn, tomatoes, peppers, radishes, onions, pumpkins, watermelons, cantaloupes, zucchinis, okra, green beans, and potatoes.

5 flats of tomatoes, 17 varieties total, but mostly Roma and Rutgers for sauce and stewed tomatoes. A flat of peppers. Sweet banana, Niagara giant, and Italian frying. Also black beauty eggplant. 2 flats of broccoli, and some cabbage and cauliflower. 25 lbs of potato sets, about 500 onion plants, half of which will be eaten as scallions. Kohlrabi, celery, asparagus, Jerusalem artichokes, cantalope, a couple different kinds of winter squash, cukes, tons of greens, carrots, peas, beans, and a bunch of different herbs. Plus I'm growing mangel beets for the chickens, as well as sunflowers, and a bunch of other flowers. Most of which will produce seeds for the wild birds.

Gonna be a busy summer!

OK I thought I was doing good when I got my cha..cha...cha....chia herb garden going...now I am all depressed....I want a garden too!!!!

Been planning for a good while now....I think I am going to put out around 10 Goliath and 12 Better Boy tomoto plants , 10 Big Bertha Bell peppers, 10-15 Hungarian Wax Bananna peppers, 20-25 hills of Crimson Sweet watermelons, 5 hills of cukes, 5 rows of Bodacious Sweet corn and some onions. Was going to plant some sweet potatoes but I am tired of battleing the rabbits and deer on those, oh and you can't forget about those sneaky voles that like to eat half of one potatoe and then move onto the next one. All this rain is keeping me from plowing. Might be able to plow tomorrow or Sunday...hopefully. I would like to get my potatoes started sometime soon. Wouldn't hurt to put out a couple early tomato's either just incase we don't get another frost.
