Vegetable Garden

Who's got one ? what are you growing ? and how's it coming along? Mine consists of sweet corn , cabbage , brussel sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli ,cucumbers, zucchini, peas, tomatoes , peppers , acorn squash, pumpkins, and assorted spices. The cold wet weather hasn't been very conducive to good growth so far for me. But with warmer weather in the forecast things should turn out. I hope those of you growing fair better.

Bummer Skillz! I was looking forward to see how those potatoe seeds turned out. 

We got our first planting of corn in and should have radishes in 3-4 weeks. Retilled the pumpkin patch and got the new sweet potatoe and viney plant patch worked up today. Things are really starting to roll, we will be begging for it to slow down in another 8 weeks!

BMR, a good gardener always pushes it a little bit! Dane county here, nothing under 40 at night for the next few weeks (extended weather forecast). The row covers will add 2-8 degrees and keep any frost off. Might put some clear jugs filled with water in there, they will absorb heat during the day and give heat off at night (similar to a wall o water) it's 75 degrees here now, good tomato growing weather!

More green table onions going in the buckets. Probably a couple hundred today if I can find enough soil.

Had to start over on the true potato seed experiment due to forgetting the seedlings out in the last freeze. Oh well can't win 'em all. Hopefully,I'll at least have enough time to grow some seed potatoes from this new batch I replanted.

Black Krim,Brandywine Pink,and Cherokee Purple came to life in 5 days. Cut back on varieties this year to 6,but growing 3 of each kind...

Yukon do it!!!  

I have an old rear tine tiller. Works great if you have a 6' radius to turn it. In my fenced in garden I use a small lawn boy front tine tiller, and it works great, especially in those tight spots!

Mad pushing it a little bit? Where are you Arizona?

A few more

How are everyone’s onions and garlic looking?

BMR, good luck with the celery! I am trying that also this year, have one plant in grown from a store bought celery stalk. Also have 10 plants in I got at Home Depot. Nothing better than fresh celery! I planted 3 early Girl tomatoes outside today under row cover, yes, I'm pushin it a bit. I really like the row cover, grew spinach & onions through the past winter under it, they did well in below freezing temps. Some much needed rain here today, that will get things going!

Almost ready to plant. 

Quite the upgrade from that ​front tine tiller!

The men were right it’s a beast!

anything in the nightshade family (potatoes are in the nightshade family, so are peppers and tomatoes), and also anything in the squash/cucumber/melon family the stems can be buried and they'll root.  From what I read when growing a single, jumbo pumpkin people will bury the stem and use real fertile soil on top of it so that some of the nutrients the pumpkin is getting will come directly from the stems that will become roots.
