Outdoor veggie and herb garden plans

Some neat looking plants in there.

I have some of the Echinacea and some Flax David (white and purple) but that is some collection.

Not too painful a price either.

Hmmm.

Yep, apparently it stops bleeding, helps hay fever, and relieves eczema among others.

I moved this to a seperate topic so as not to clog up @horribleherk56 thread. There is enough here for its own topic.

I’ve never successfully grown anything outdoors, this year I’m going to try.

Good call @ReikoX.

Tried to do straw bales last year for veggies. One worked better than the other three, then a critter shredded it up really well looking for grubs. Got a couple melons and a few green beans to take off.

Hesitant to start anything right now since we might be moving? Makes my thumb hurt thinking about it.

I think I want to build a raised bed around my tree with retaining blocks like what @99PerCent did with his compost pile.

The front yard I’ve been landscaping slowly with native desert plant. Last fall I collected lots of wild grass seeds and bushes for planting this year. Having a lawn in the desert is not very practical.

I’m looking forward to this year’s grow, unfortunately being in the far north and in a 3B zone the amount of time I have to grow is very limited for optimal temperatures, Thus limiting what I am able to grow. This year I’m going to try a few new things but I am going to go back to the tried-and-true potatoes and corn which seem to thrive quite well in my Gardens.
So my list so far:
Blue Lake poke beans
Little finger carrots
Kennebec Potatos
Fingerling Potatos
Halona muskmelon
Delectable bicolor corn
Great Lakes iceberg lettuce
Valencia peanuts
Burgundy beans
Small sugar pumpkins
Olympia hybrid spinach

Do you have cold frames or a green house?

I am trying something new this spring. I have a few plants in veg now that are up for flip on 04/01. on 05/01 I’ll move them to my little green house and finish them there in roughly 12/12 sunlight and in 15 gallon containers. :smiling_imp:

I’ll have to have the heat and dehumidifier in there.

Start all the summer stuff as soon as there is room.

You should try an early bumper crop with autos. I think that is where they will shine. I know a guy giving away some autos on this forum if your interested. :wink:

Sort of already mid-step.

I have some clones left from this last run and now 5 new seedlings/young plants coming along.

So, I ordered 6x 5-gallon fabric pots for my herb garden and some 14" heavy duty saucers. Last Wednesday (Feb 14) I got a delivery message, but couldn’t find the package or the delivery notice (usually will tell me where to look). I waited 36 hours and called Amazon. They got me sorted and shipped me my order and expedited the shipping. Yesterday (Feb 22) my bug man comes over. He sprays the back yard and when he cones back in, he says I had a package by my gate. Sure enough the UPS guy put the package in my back yard (one place I didn’t look). So now I have 12x 5-gallon fabric pots to fill. :grin: :laughing: :joy:

I bought a greenhouse from my neighbor for $50. It’s a 6x8 harbor freight deal and a little worse for wear, but I couldn’t pass it up for that price. Now time to make a little room and clean out the shed getting ready for spring. Maybe @99PerCent can help me figure it out. :thumbsup: :seedling:
