Garden Spring 2024

This year marks the first year we start using the greenhouse and it does make a difference for peppers.

I always plant Swiss Chard.  Once they are established, I just keep cutting them.
Cucumbers.
Golden Bantam corn.
Beans.  I have planted 3 successive plots, each separated by 2 weeks.
Carrots.
Potatoes have been growing fairly quick this year.
1000 garlic plants.
Lettuce.  I planted less this year because we cannot keep up with their growth!
Tomatoes.  This year I built trellis using galvanized cow panels this year because vertical strings failed to hold the massive tomato plants last year.
Zucchini with weed barrier beneath to suppress bindweeds.
Mama squash.
Snow peas on vertical strings.
Elder berries love sandy soil.
I have enough trees to produce wood chips.  But it takes a lot of effort to cut and feed through the chipper.
I transplanted peppers in mid-April into the greenhouse and they have been growing very well.
