Garden 2025

[coachg]

Got a row and a half red potatoes , a row of onions , and savoy cabbage and broccoli planted in my garden last week . Weather lady is giving mid 30's next week so I'll wait on my first planting of corn After that I'll plant yellow squash and zucchini. Wife said we still have plenty of green beans canned so no green beans this year . Tomatoes and peppers and peas will be my last to plant. Then sun flowers and zinnias for my daughter and grand daughters. Oh , I forgot , sweet potatoes too !

I don't care how many green beans we have canned, I need the fresh ones!

Won't even think about the garden for 6 more weeks. In the upper 20's with a skiff of fresh snow this morning.

I have Red Pontiac, Kennebec and Yukon Gold potatoes, Spanish Sweet onions, Sugar pod peas, Hybrid cabbage, radishes so far planted. I am going to wait to about the middle of the month to plant everything else. Cutting back this year some as I have at least 3 years supply on the shelves and in the freezers.

You can get those peas out pretty quick. Those Oregon Sugar Pod Pea brand taste good, crunchy and even good in salads.

I won’t show these to my wife . Not sure of the type I planted but years ago I tried to plant them . I did not care for them . If I don’t eat them I don’t plant , hoe and pick them !

garlic is a foot high and strawberries are getting flowers.

if I tried to have a garden in these drouthy conditions I could get more to eat by trapping all the wildlife coming into the tiny patch of moist green for 100 miles and eating them.

I have a young peach, a good sized pomegranate, an almost dead peach, a fig and a couple strawberry plants in pots and a new blueberry I haven't put in a pot yet. was thinking of putting it in the ground but it will probably have a better chance in a pot for a year or two.

Weather liars are calling for night time temps in mid to low 30s Saturday and Sunday night. I put tomato plants out last week so Saturday's job will be covering them and putting other plants back in the greenhouse. I hate having to things twice.Sigh.

Wife disked her new fall plowed garden for the first pass last weekend.
She’s waiting for Good Friday to plant potatoes. The rest will come later.
