2025 Garden!

[Nick87]

No. We have a little lean to where we store the yard tools. Our chickens would get in there and nest. Made a mess.

So I caged it off with some 6 foot 2x4 inch horse fence I had. Works good at keeping the chickens out.

But the damn starling, sparrows and finches go in there by the hundreds.

Like worse than the pigeons in "Steel Magnolias" absolute pain in the ass.

All in good fun. Barn swallows do the same shit here. But they eat mosquitoes, so they get a pass.

First pass rototilling my garden. I added a pickup load of free compost from the city + 300 lb of bagged steer manure. I don't use the fresh stuff because it contains too many weed seeds. I will probably give this about 3 or 4 more passes of the rototiller before I plant anything. Radishes and a few root crops will go in about this coming Wednesday.

First planting of squash and zucchini went in last week, second planting will be 6 weeks from now. Tomatoes and most of the peppers went in today, as well as herbs. Got the pine straw in to make the whole thing a little more neighborhood friendly.

All of my plants I have started indoors are about 2” tall and I need to move to a bigger container this week. I’ve started cherry and big boy tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts jalepenos, and bell peppers,

I hear you there. I got a bunch of Early Girl tomatoes that are over 12" in red drinking cups. Going to put some in walls of water outside Wednesday. I get a lot of early tomatoes using the walls of water and using them also to start other things like sunflowers, peppers and maybe squash.

Transplanted tomato, pepper, Dahlias, & flowers today. Many plants growing under lights in the back of the shop.

This will be our first summer without a child in baseball or softball! Bring on the gardening. It's been over 12 years since our last garden and I miss it terribly.
