Garden 2012

[freshtiva]

Picked 25 of my 200 onions sets. I also put in a 100 foot row on onion bulbs in early spring. Way too many ! Going to try and dehydrate some today, they'll keep forever that way.

Need rain bad !! Hauled 1000 gals of water so far but cant put a dent in the shortfall.

Sweet Marcus!
We have strawberries ripe now. I planted corn, some weird tiny hot peppers, bell peppers, cucumbers, eight different types of tomatoes, 9 volunteer tomatoes!! And I now am raising egg laying chickens! I am also digging out a 300 gallon koi pond. I went kind of crazy! Especially since we live on 1/3 acre.

That's a pretty good sized garden. I wish I had room for something like that.

Spent the last couple of days in the garden, trying to finish planting. I picked my prize radishes today. They are call "Champion" radishes. I see why, three weighed 12 oz so they average 1/4 pound each. No cracking and solid in the center.

Do you eat the damage causing rabbits too?

I've never seen the rabbit but Id eat him if I got the chance. They're too sneaky !! Silly rabbits.

I had a deer munch on one of my cauliflowers. I told the wife and she said "how do you know it was a deer, you always blame everything on the deer."

I said " well there were deers tracks leading up to where the cauliflower was, the cauliflower was gone, and there were deer tracks leading away."

Looks yummy! Do you eat the damage causing rabbits too?

My garden runneth over. Ive been harvesting radishes, mustard greens, and onions for two weeks now. Cant eat fast enough to keep up. The radishes mature from seed in 20 days. Pretty amazing from seed to table in less than three weeks. The green onions ( purple, yellow, white ) are huge, not your wimpy store bought size. I started the brocolli indoors in feb. already getting heads on them. Potatoes arent blooming yet but it wont be long. Been sharing with the neighbors some. All organic so far, pests have been few except for a little rabbit damage.

You are so cool to me.

I'm planting tomorrow.

Oh thanks. Now i'm hungry!

First produce of 2012. Red Giant mustard greens, ( has a spicy kick to it ) green onions, and a handful of sugar peas. Using it all in a salad for supper.

Sweet relief!

My garden survived the freeze/frost with no problems. Rain in the forecast :thumbright:

We're getting the frost now!

Yeah, good luck. Most of my tulips took a hit from the night frosts we've had around here. Fewer blooms make a sad face!
