2023 Gardening Thread

Been buying seeds. Started tomatoes, peppers (Bell, Cayenne, and Jalapeño), eggplants, basil, cilantro and a couple of others inside. Planned out the beds to this year - rotated crops. Next week I mix the garden beds, add fertilizer and compost and plant a couple crops. Each weekend will be more...

Some of the starts are already sprouting. Garlic in the beds, planted in Sept last year, is growing nicely. Lots of work that I am slowly being able to do after the surgery...

I've been wondering how you're doing! Everything going okay?

Yes, thank you. Just about back to "normal" - whatever that is! No more pain and just a small lump under the incision. I'm in San Diego visiting my daughter and her BF in their new home. Been helping them with some interior mods. Back home this evening and back to the grind tomorrow...Oh well.

Thank you for asking!

It's been a day. Here is my garden this morning. This was after the neglect of winter.



Here is my garden now...



Got it all cleaned up and started planting. So far I've planted Jalapenos, broccoli, strawberries, tomatoes, carrots, onions and peas.

Added all the drip lines to the 12 raised beds with help from the Mrs. Need to add soaker hoses to the corn rows next.
Uncovered the garlic bed which has been planted and covered since last Sept - looking good!




My helper:


On the 5th indoor seed planting today. Many doing well, the darn peppers aren't even starting and tomatoes doing poorly
Bought 100 ea. red / yellow onion starts also.

Two thumbs up for your trusted Helper, that's a good dog! Something tells me bunny rabbits don't invade your garden!

Broccoli!!! I shoot that shit on site. My Mother used to make us kids eat that crap when I was growing up. Might as well be eating weeds out of the back yard.

Started some yellow bulb tomatoes low acid? The Mrs favorite, and some Roma's. Bell Pepper and Zucchini.

Found a good "Bank Billy" spot for chrome
So, we'll have fish fertilizer.

I rested last season, now I need to fish

It all depends on how it is prepared. Plus you can always smother it with cheese and bacon!

Cheese on broccoli is good. Thanks for the bacon tip.
