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.
Yes! good job!!
Our spring garden has been going for a couple of months now. Our potato plants (3 - 50' rows) were beautiful, but I am afraid the heat is getting to them already, they are showing signs of blight, so we may be pulling them soon, even though I think they probably need another month. Our squash/zucchini and cucumbers didn't do jack this year, plants barely got up out of the ground and started blooming, but are too small to do anything. The winter squash seem to be doing well, vining out with tons of blooms, small fruit starting to form. The pepper and okra are still young, they love the heat, so they should really start taking off now. The tomatoes and tomatillos are all loaded with fruit and blooms, though still a ways off from being ripe. I am hoping the stink bugs don't ruin them like last year :/ The sweet corn is tasseling, but seem really short, but they did the same last year and we had a bounty, so hopefully this year will be the same. The field corn is looking awesome, over hip high, we have about 10 - 80' rows of that, and might replant more when we pull the potatoes. We did about 1600 plants last year and ended up with 8 - 5 gallon buckets of dried corn. I have been making home ground corn meal and grits.... homemade cornbread is sooo good! Our big crop this year will be white acres. We bought a pea sheller, so hoping to put it to good use, I think we have 8 or 9 - 80' rows planted. They are coming up nicely. Just planted 2 more rows, so they don't all come in at one time.
The last of our onions we planted in November are ready to harvest this weekend, so we will be curing those, should end up with about 200 onions, some are tiny and we got quite a few monsters.
We also planted about 20 fruit trees this year, hoping they will be producing in a few years. Several varieties of oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes, avocado, peaches, pears, apples. And we also planted 6 blueberry bushes.
You must live up north, because down here, cabbage, kale, beets, carrots are all winter crops :)
