I went to tractor supply, purchased some fruit trees. I dug holes and planted them couple weeks ago. Two more apple trees for a total of 3 now. A peach tree, 2 large blue berry bushes (dont buy the dormant ones in the store, they are shit, they dont grow) and 2 cherry trees.
I planted 4 (20 foot rows) of potatoes, 1 row of carrots, 3 rows of beets, 4 rows of corn, 1 row of beans. I have 6 kale plants, 4 cabbage, 4 zucinni, 8 cucumber in the ground. Still germinating my tomatoe and pepper seeds. I have 12 sunflower that I will plant in near future.
My aspargus have been producing great this year. My pee has smelled terrible for weeks. Lol.
I also have 10 chickens producing more eggs than I know what to do with. Family and neighbors have been fighting for them.
I still have room for more stuff, trying to decide what I want to put in. Do you have any suggestions?
Now Im out to cut grass and do some weed wacking. I have almost a acre of land, my garden actually takes up a small portion of my property. Its hard work but it fills up my deep feeze every year. Have a blessed day.
I wouldn't grow anything on a deck, it gets hot in the sun, heats up the soil and easily kill the plant. But yes, potatoes are easy to grow. You can use grow bags. Place your seed potatoes in the bottom of the bag, cover them with soil, at the end of the season, dump the bag out and get your potatoes.
Couple years ago I had 100+ pounds of potatoes when I harvested. Last year I used some small potatoes I had saved from the previous year. When I planted them they were already growing vines, you need to avoid that. The vines pull the life out of the potatoes, they will not produce a large yield.
I use grow bags for Yukon Gold potatoes. Put your seed potatoes in the bottom and cover with a couple inches of soil. As the greens grow fill your container with more soil. Keep doing this until they reach the top of the bag. In the fall the entire bag will be filled with potatoes.
