Garden 2012

[freshtiva]

New year so I guess Ill start another garden thread. I was at Menards today and they were selling seed packets for nine cents each. I bought 44 packets for $3.96 and some indoor seed starting kits. The seed are packed for 2012 and normally are 59 cent each. Seemed cheap to me. The starter kits were $2.99 each. Im in the garden for under $20

I bet you're drooling already! Not just over the future food, but also the nice seed prices!

Oh crap. I need to get on this. Looks like a trip to menards is in order tomorrow! Although I have yet to even PLAN my plot!!! AHHHH!!!

This thread has officially kicked my rump into gear!!

Are you starting everything already or just early crops?

Is everything in those peat pots?

[200KGPGTP]

Well, I went overboard. Pics later. Lol

This is my grow room. Pretty handy having an extra room.

I wasn't able to get any of the .10c packs, they hardly had anything left. I got all burpee stuff. I don't think I paid over $1 for any pack, most of them were like .60c.

The 72 cell grow tray systems were $2.50 each

The plants you see already growing are a bunch of houseplants I just propagated.

I'll start seeding tonight or tomorrow! EXCITED!

Thats actually a ground squirrel. The wife bought those because we have the real ones outside. But yes he does seem to be eyeing the sugar peas.


Good job Buck, its fun to watch them grow !

You guys are way ahead of me. All I've managed to do is burn off a brush pile where my garden is supposed to be. That's got to count for something, right?

[200KGPGTP]

Gotta start somewhere!! Lol.

My plot was grass last year. Straight up virgin backyard. Last fall I decided it would be a VERY good idea to rent a tiller and till in all the grass. That way it could rot and de-clump or whatever. I'll till again before planting, but I'm so glad I did that. It'll make things so much easier.

My plot is a 30'x28' square, completely flat save for the back 5 feet

Getting started. Getting less and less satisfied with miracle gro products. I used to buy it because it was easier to water and handle, but they seem to have changed their formula recently to like 95% peat moss. Drives me CRAZY. once it gets dry, it's WATERPROOF. Very hard to get re-moistened, and this seed start mix is no different.

I have a lot of houseplants with MG and if I let them dry out just a little, I'm screwed and the only way to get it re moistened is to soak the entire pot for a few hours. I have 60+ houseplants. AGGRAVATING.
