Anyone growing a garden this year?

[#1Tidefan]

Me and dad started one about two weeks ago. Corn, Purple Hull Peas, Mators, Broccoli, Cabbage, Bell Pepper and Carrots.

I'm gonna start a herb garden @ my house tomorrow.

My wife, works for the school system here in Phenix City-Al, and said that next year...the cafeteria will DOUBLE the prices on the kids!

I also heard a big 'spike' in groceries this/next year were increasing...

Wouldn't be a bad time to start planning ahead folks...

Here is a link to the 'Farmers Almanac' plantin an veggie guide...Good Luck!

I use to have one every year till my back went out and I had to quit. My wife had some bucket stuff last year but this year we have quit. We will be going to the Farmers Market @ Montgomery probably. RTR!

I hate to hear that ricky. I hope I didn't start to Early...
I do have some of that grass netting that I put over the garden tonight...hopefully, I can get through the chill factor of march/april and on to some warm rays of spring SOON.

Usually have some corn that I raise to sell to friends, family, co-workers, etc.  Didn't do well last year at all so I'm thinking about not doing it this year.  Problem is, I've already had folks asking about it so I might do some anyways.  Maybe some tomatos and peppers and okra...

This thread seems like a good one for a tiller review.

I do not have a tiller but I was looking at a pretty cheap one in sears the other day, the mini or whatever for 200 bucks.  I know tillers can get really expensive and in general you get what you pay for....

Discuss.

If I had a tractor with a 3-pt hitch, I'd get a roto-tiller attachment to use.  Those things are great for preparing the soil.

I am in tractor limbo, fix old one (again) or buck up and buy one.  Waiting to see how my next contract looks...

I was looking at the little walk behinds, I dont have that big of a garden, 10-12 tomato plants and various other veggies.

Yeah, my parents and I usually put in about 1/2 acre of veggies.  Probably won't do much this year since they are experiencing deteriorating health...

I'll set out some tomato plants but not 'til after the middle of April.

My frost free date is not until June 1, but we can plant "cold weather crops" in May that are not killed by frost. Cabbage, broccoli, carrots, onions, etc. We can maybe 100 qts of tomatos, 100 qts corn, 100 qts half runners. Now is the time to start plants indoors from seed in warmer climates.

Yep we are, we've put onions out already. But we're waiting on everything else

I know I'm takin a high risk at planting early, but I found some of that fiberglass mesh screen that they use when planting grass. I put that stuff over the garden, so hopefully it will soak up some sun,whist,protecting the young seedlings...I hope.
