Anybody have "vegetable gardens" here?

[LXtasy]

We have started our small vegetable garden again this year and was wondering if any one else does the same. Curious on what you grow (legally) as I might be doing some more vegetables to my garden. Maybe do a "barter" deal.

Cucumbers, carrots and tomatoes here.

I prefer home grown or local produce from farmers market. Trying to eat healthier and all lately to get my race weight down lol

[ForceFed4g63]

I built a raised bed vegetable garden about a month or so ago. Right now we have tomatoes, lettuce, arugula, eggplant, basil, pimiento, jalapenos, rosemary, parsley, cilantro, some pepper plants, and probably a couple other things I'm forgetting. I'm looking forward to being able to eat some stuff lol. I'd be happy to trade or barter with other people on here.

I'll post a pic in a minute.

[LXtasy]

tell me more on your raised bed please sir. Has me interested. Right now my stuff is in buckets/pots until they start sprouting a decent amount and then I will transfer to ground.

I have thought about doing herbs also. Especially since the summerville farmers market has a guy that sells them already for planting. Are you growing yours from seeds?

[MonteC]

My girlfriend does the raised bed planting at her house. I cant remember what all she has, maybe potatoes, squash, onions, zucchini, lettuce, peas, broccoli, asparagus, assorted peppers, garlic, blueberries, strawberries, basil, oregano, chives, rosemary, lavender.

[ForceFed4g63]

Here's a pic, forgot to add that we have mint, cucumber, green onions, and lavender and blueberries in the front yard as well. Some stuff we started from seeds, the pepper and tomato plants I got as seedlings from a friend. Some of the other stuff we got from Lowe's since we started kind of late in the season. I saw a design in a magazine and I basically just winged it from there, got the lumber at Lowe's, did the stain and then cut and nailed it all together, pretty easy once you know what you want to do.

May I make a suggestion...

[LXtasy]

That is in my closet IAN. Not outside

I think I will be making the raised bed this weekend. As I talked to some others and that seems to be preferred with the crappy soil we have here.

[Bradleyrj]

Tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, lettuce, strawberry's, cucumbers, bell peppers, watermelons here.

Yea we did a mix of top soil and fertilizer from Lowe's, less than $1.50 a bag.

[LXtasy]

Picked up some basil, peppermint, cilantro, parsley, more tomatos, green bell peppers, green beans, rosemary, lettuce and some other misc crap that I get to plant now.

[Sean]

I expanded our garden this year.

I am growing 3 different kinds of tomatoes, some hot peppers and a bunch of different herbs this year.

[cfcobalt]

basil, red peppers and cilantro....unfortunately i'm moving to WA in like 2 months and will have to start over..

[ASkipper]

Mine from 2 years ago.The one this year is double the size.

Tomatoes, Squash, Zuchinni, Cucumbers, radish, okra, onions, lettuce, peppers-bell and hot as hell, brocilli. That's about it in the garden at the house. At my parents house we have a garden with 17 rows that are 140ft long. There I have Tomatoes, squash, zuchinni, string beans, peas, potatoes, cabbage ,okra ,cucumbers, watermelons, radishes. At the 3rd garden at the church garden I got 7 rows planted of watermelons, okra ,radishes, cucumbers, honeydew melons, cantalope, onions, cabage. I am going to be busy this summer gathering and keeping up with gardens.

[StoneColdSVT]

Got some 'maters, peppers, egg plant and strawberries.
That reminds me, need to go to Lowes and get some more plants.

[1 Slow Z]

Funny this came up because I was in the process of building one for my wife's birthday. This one will be just for tomato's since the area gets a lot of sun. She wants 2 or 3 more built this same size in the back yard. She's really big into canning, last weekend we picked 12 baskets of strawberries and made 60 jars of homemade jam!

Trust me I know, it's all that damn clay. Unless your neighborhood has been sitting for about 15 years generally you don't have much top soil. It is a PITA trying to dig postholes through clay.

[KissMyWhiteSS]

Keep these coming if you guys can. We are planning to build one too, soon. I have my compost bin going now so that will help for some good mulch

[LXtasy]

This is one of mine almost complete.

I still have to make my small little herb garden next. Those "should" be completed this weekend. I currently have the above garden covered. We watered it lightly and keep it covered. There is a nice amount of heat forming in this soil. I am ready to transplant here very soon to this bed.

I started home growing about a year ago and I would definitely agree with you that since I know where my vegetable plants come from and since I grow everything myself I feel somehow better because it feels like a very healthy alternative to supermarket vegetables where one never knows where they come from or how they have been modified with certain chemicals just to last longer. I am always happy when I see my flowering plants (http://www.serenataplants.com) and know that I am doing something right because I serve my children healthy food and it helps them with their growth. I think this is very important.

When I get the g/f moved in she wants to start doing an in ground garden. I wanted to put gutters on the house and collect the rainwater in large tanks. Water the gardens with that instead of running the well pump.

I have another bed that I am waiting for it to get to "temp" before I transplant into it. Should be ready tomorrow or Wednesday (I hope).

Bell peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes (varying sizes),onions, Cilantro, peppermint, basil, parsley and oregano in this bed. I just planted some marigolds as this supposedly helps with cucumber growth. i have no clue. I just know that the Rabbits will have a meal tonight lol

What does the experts think so far? Every Monday I am fertilizing it with MiracleGro Fruit and vegetable liquid fertilizer.

[ForceFed4g63]

Looks pretty good so far. What are those sad looking plants in the bottom left? Onions? Looks like you must have planted them recently. Also be careful of using too much fertilizer. How often are you watering everything?



Here's ours, just trimmed one of the lettuce plants for our salad with dinner. Looking forward to making some salsa with the Jalapenos and Cilantro soon.

I recently transplanted the onions yesterday. I grow my stuff in pots at first than plant into garden. My lettuce finally starting sprouting after a month of being planted from seeds. My garden gets watered daily. Fertilizer says every 7 to 10 days so that is what i do. My cilantro is having a hard time growing in the bed it seems. I may put it back into the pot and just grow it there. Nice peppers. I planted most of mine late, i hope that doesnt hurt the crop.

[ForceFed4g63]

I would recommend watering twice a day if you can, I do it before I leave for work and then when I get home. The plants seem to respond much better when I do that.

[oldskoolstang]

I have a small garden, just 3 types of tomatoes, 3 types of peppers, and some squash and zucchini. If I can keep the damn rabbits and deer from eating it all I may even get something out of it this year. I don't want to put up a fence, so whatever is left is what I'll get....I guess.

So far the motion-sensor sprinkler seems to be the charm. That and I leave the porch light on and sometimes have a small alarm-clock radio going.....

The only thing i have struggling is cilantro, and some of my peppers. My daughter just recently planted some cowpeas (black eye peas) and they are doing decent. My cucumber plants are over 3 ft tall and are having growth. Tomatoes and bell peppers are doing great. I believe i will be harvesting within a month

http://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_home.html that is a site to help on canning different produce and making various items with said produce.

soils the same? fertilizing the same?

My gardens typically get a MINIMUM of 6 hours a day. One gets about 10 hours a day easily. I have been trying to raise my nitrogen level up in my garden as this is what is slowing my growth down. It is doing well just not great. Considering that some of my items were so small that they should have been seedlings lol.

if you guys need any canning advice, PM me for my mom's #.

she was youngest of 12 kids on 100 acres.
she canned while the older kids picked.

Today I noticed that I had an egg cluster under one cucumber leaf. I removed it and burned it. I also noticed under one other leaf I have a green inch worm. I did the same thing to that leaf as well. I did not notice any more under any other leafs. I have used insecticidal soap on the leafs. I had seven dust also on them. But of course with all the rain it washed it off.

After doing some research these are the culprits of moths. UGH. At least no other plant was effects. Working on ways to prevent this in the future. Just a FYI, to go and check your crops

So far we have jarred 68 quarts of green beans. Last year we put up 198 quart jars of tomatoes and about 20 jars of pickles. It takes a lot of time but it saves so much money and they taste so much better than store bought.

Looking good. SMMS has some of my Jalapenos, hopefully they're ok. My cilantro has straight up taken a nose dive and I have no idea why. Cooked up some eggplant last night, it was delicious.

My cucumbers will be ready soon, I want to pickle some for sure.

my cilantro has sprouted up pretty good since last week. It is growing awesome now. Yours went to the crapper and mine has started to do good. odd.

[stackz]

so how often are you watering and what fertilizer are you using?

you think your soil is bad in summerville?

my yard is basically sand :cry:

[LXtasy]

I personally was watering everyday. But as of 2 weeks ago I switched to every other day. I currently use Miracle-gro Shake N feed for vegetables &fruits. But I have used Bonnie Plants Herb & vegetable in the beginning. My soil isn't that suitable for growing vegetables that well, this is why we went with a raised bed.

[ForceFed4g63]

We usually water twice a day, and once every 2 weeks we use some veggie fertilizer from Lowe's, can't remember the name of it.

I didn't grow these. We got them from my brother-in-law. They grow 190 acres of tomatoes. My wife loves to jar tomatoes as it saves us so much money during the course of the year. Think about that it saves $2 to $3 dollars per jar.

The front yard looks much better than the back yard.

Thinking of you,

Chrisheltra

Yeah, the back yard sucks, too many trees. I'm having some taken out soon.

[03SVTCOBRA]

Photoshopped yard.

[AverageJoe]

Photoshopped yard.

Come see it for yourself. This is what a lawn can look like if you don't park on it, lol

[ForceFed4g63]

That's what a yard looks like that was just laid down 30 minutes prior lol.

[chrisheltra]

Dear Mr. ForceFed4g63,

If it takes you 30 minutes to get laid, youre doing it wrong.

With deepest regret,

Chrisheltra

[ForceFed4g63]

Dammit.

[LXtasy]

30 minutes is way too long for getting laid.

[ForceFed4g63]

Crap. Now I have a garden. Pics shortly.

What are you guys using for cover crops? We planted fava beans, clover, feild peas, oats, winter rye, and garlic, yellow onions, spinach, "corn salad", early peas.

Just need some stuff for the winter to help get some nitrogen into the soil.

My peppers and jalapenos are still going, my eggplant has gone crazy, just pulled about 6 last night.

[LXtasy]

If i can keep my pitbull from eating all my sweet peppers i would be set lol. My herbs are growing like crazy.

[oldskoolstang]

I've still got peppers as well. Planted some mustard greens Wednesday of last week, we'll see how they do.

[04ctd]

how much are you guys planning to plant this year?

[ForceFed4g63]

Not a ton, doing more careful planning this time around though, wasted too much last year.

[DIGGLER]

tried doing tomatoes in buckets last year and learned i couldnt get enough water in there. i could water them in the morning and by the time i got home from work the leaves were shriveled up. i dont think im going to try anything this year.

[ASkipper]

I'm gonna have to come graze your farm.

anyone got any good ideas on how to cut railroad ties?

I got 6 from LOWES ($14 each) and want to stack 2 high on sides, and cut one in half to make each end, that way we can reach in, instead of walking in it.

i got two chain saws that won't run :(

spent $90 on repairs at Driggers, they put on a new carb, cranked while there, got home, wont' crank, called him back he said:
"you say we put on a new carb? you done got yourself an electrical problem then...bye"

[ASkipper]

My dad started planting his 1/2 acre garden yesterday. He has 5 long rows of corn and 3 rows of string beans. He said he will finish it this weekend with the rest. My family likes to eat fresh veggies out of our own gardens.

I would use a circular saw on all 4 sides, and then use a sawzall to finish it off.

[bwelch]

Chainsaw

[ForceFed4g63]

Chainsaw

Did you read his post?

[bwelch]

lol. I try not to read all of John's posts!

[bwelch]

If the chainsaw won't run its the carb or cracked fuel hose. You can get a new carb online for $20-30.

choke & throttle stop the saw, pull until it starts or "almost" tries to start. once it does that, turn the choke off and pull it again. if you leave the choke on and keep pulling, it floods the saw. if you have been doing this correctly, disregard... just trying to help and i know a LOT of people just arent doing it right.

Strawberries have been in the ground since last year. Just tilled everything else up.

I have no idea what she plans on planting this year.

How are you guys combating insects?

Had an onslaught of vine boring beetles that wiped out our melons, squash and cucumbers.

I use gasoline, bugs hate the taste! If that doesn't work, I just light'em up!

Damn we need a farming section to the forum!! Lol.

[454rat]

I have a raised 7x5 planter box. This will make my third year using it. It was a 10"x2" and I doubled up this year to make the soil deeper. Last year the rain killed everything but my tomatoes and various peppers. I want to plant a bigger variety this year. Spinach,tomatoes,onions,bell peppers, cilantro,and basil, and whatever else will fit without over crowding it.

[04ctd]

i got two bags of 10-10-10, how much would you use in a 7x5?
figure mine will be 8x4, about 6~10 inches deep?

figured one for yard, and use other one over course of summer, but how much should i put in when I build it?

most of my gardening....growing up...was on the bucket end (picking) and not on the planting/growing end.

We bought a bunch of ladybugs and released them into the garden. It seemed to help, but don't really know to what extent. That's more for aphids though, not sure about beetles.

You can borrow my chainsaw if needed. And I'll take a look at yours and see whats the problem.

I hate moles.

[blkscls1z]

We have a raised 4x3 that we've planed a couple of years now. Planted Okra, Tomatoes, Red & Green Peppers & carrots this year.

[454rat]

I used Seven dust and the beetle bags last year. But still my roma tomatoes got eaten by those worms
