Looks like you're off to a good start.

Devv · Mar 23, 2016

Glad to see you're back in the saddle!

Yeah, dogs. The main reason my garden is fenced; they just like to "help". Plant a butt load of onions and the next day they uh re-planted them for ya....LOL

Good luck this year! Looks like your off to a great start!

Thanks Shane, You back for the whole season this time? Pup is cute, but with how much she digs, there wouldn't be a garden if I didn't fence it. :rolleyes:

New flood table set up for herbs and lettuce, and maybe dwarf pepper plants....

I hope to be back for most of it. I will have some underway time this summer, and I leave for 10 days at the beginning of April. I should have more time to dedicate to the garden than I have in many years though.

That table looks awesome! Are those square 5.5" nursery pots?

5" nursery pots, but yes, that is all they are. I wanted to keep the roots contained so they didn't all grow together. That would happen pretty quick if I used those square net pots.

Herb garden is now in full swing.

Parsley, rosemary, basil, and thyme for now. Starting lettuce and oregano in the Aero garden as well as more basil. I'll put them in here when they are a couple inches tall.

Gumbo the other day, you all know the drill so I iwll spare you teh blow by blow photos and just post some highlights.

A plant update next time. They are really coming along strong this spring.

Looking forward to the pics... :party:

juanitos · Apr 2, 2016

Thanks Juanitos. It really has been low maintenance. Just add a little water once a week. The plants are so small that it isn't really even necessary to change the nutes all that often.

Plant update.

Everything is pretty healthy and no pests to fight off this spring so far. This has been my most trouble free start to a season yet except for the few plants that wouldn't germinate.

Prepping garden beds over the weekend. Spread a yard of composted manure. Here are the back two beds.

Garlic is coming along nicely.

That is all for this update.

Looking good!

Devv · Apr 4, 2016

Plants and areas looking fantastic Jeff! You're timing looks to be perfect too.

I like the dogster fence, it is so needed for the little "helpers". They offer a free tilling service, but their timing is a bit off. They need to till before one plants :shh:

Keep it green!

Brocoli · Apr 5, 2016

Awesome herb table! What kind of light is that?

Cute pup. Dont let her watch you harvest something then give it to her!

.. I accidentally taught my late golden retriever how to root through strawberries to find the ripe ones and only pick those. Doh!

Thanks Scott. Hope you are doing well and have all the health issues behind you.

At least the gardens are safe from the pup, the yard is a different story. If she smells something, she is digging... :banghead:

The light is a 600W HPS, but it has a variable output power supply and is only running 450 watts right now.

I hear you on the pup, she can sure dig if given the opportunity.

Pics from last night. Here in Ohio we are only a couple of weeks away from starting to harden off. I have a hoop house I could erect. so as long as is stays a little on the mild side, they will at least be out of my basement by the end of the month. Good thing too. They are running out of room. :rofl:

Look, flowers.

Most all of the plants are looking good but a few seem to have used up the fertilizer in the soil so I'll need to supplement a little nitrogen in their diet until they go outside in the soil for good.

stickman · Apr 14, 2016

Looking really nice Jeff! What do you look for in overnight low temperatures before you put your plants outside to harden off?

Maligator · Apr 14, 2016

Plants look great, garden outside looks great, pup looks great...come on summer

Hybrid Mode 01 · Apr 15, 2016

Everything looks great, Jeff. Your tomatoes really blew up! I'm always amazed at how fast they grow compared to peppers when I grow them side by side.
