Well I cut my first piece of asparagus last weekend and have a dozen more ready in the next few days. My garlic had come up nice as well. Best thing growing is my lawn though. This was the first day without rain since I mowed last (10 days ago) and I could’ve baled it. Rain be damned, I plan...

I hope so Mick. The neighbor had to come down and spout off to my wife about how he has told me many times that using mulch is a bad idea. My wife informed him that our garden has been terrible forever and what difference is it to him. Hopefully he will stay hidden from me for another month or...

I dumped a lot of composted mulch on the garden this morning. 20 yards worth. About time to get taters and onions in. Plus some garlic since I forgot about it last fall. Since asparagus was brought up. When do you start to harvest it? Mines been in the ground for 3 years now and I never seem to...

Did this bad experience lead you toward your life of mercilessly massacring innocent corn, beans, and lentils?:lol:

I'm guessing you just let them sit in a pile for a long time. Maybe stir them up with a loader every now and then.

Doing the same thing here Treemuggs. This will be the first year. I noticed my garlic did best when I put it in my flower beds. Hasn't been worth a dang since my wife put an end to that. Just making my garden a giant flower bed now. Using a two year composted mulch. Hoping for a good year

I usually wait till after Memorial Day Jason. Well at least for tomatoes and peppers.

His is quite small. He waters a lot. You can get things going earlier but with out an added heat source they aren't much but dry storage in the winter. Temps still drop to below freezing at night inside them in winter time. I can also believe that produce doesn't taste the same. Irrigation is...

Stig I'm chuckling since you mentioned the poly tunnel. You're completely right. My nieghbor built himself a small one. Completely unattached from any heat source. He was telling me how he was going to eat fresh veggies year round. Rather than tell him of his error I just said he could bring his...

We are tomorrow night boss. Had our full of cake and ice cream today with two separate family birthday parties. One turned 4 and the other 85.

Still about a week till peak season for these but 2 quarts is a good haul off of one bush. The girls and I went picking in the nieghbors garden this evening. He told me this spring to have all I want of the berries as he still has loads of preserves left from last year. I'm glad we get along...

July 13 is what the docs say. I think by the size and her downright nasty temperament, it will be next week. We have a wedding reception to attend Saturday. That's my guess on when it'll happen. At least it's at the local bingo/ fire station

It's a lot of grass. Not nice lawn grass either. I'm half tempted to mulch it next year and take the mulch away before tilling in the spring. My wife usually tends to it but she's ready to pop at the moment. Another couple of weeks and neither one of us will have time ( or the energy) to deal...

I need to tend to my garden more!! My nieghbor is ready to do his first pepper picking and I've got 3 peppers and they aren't even close to ready. I know he cheats and uses miracle grow but this is rediculous. I could almost mow the weeds down between the rows. One thing I've noticed though is...

I've got and old shade tarp from my bosses green house. I'll cut a chunk out and put over my radishes and lettuce and hopefully that helps. Thanks for the advice.

Mick is that taller stuff you asparagus? Mine is only about two foot tall and very thin. It's in it second year now so I guess I have to wait one more year to get anything

Just finished up in the garden. Got my onions in on time and then it rained for a few weeks and put me behind. Maters,peppers,and Cucs were planted tonight. Soaked everything real good and loaded up the truck and trailer for tomorrow's jobs. Added a tablespoon of Epsom salt to each plant hoping...
