[Skunky Dunk Farms]

Getting ready to drop 4 types of garlic, 5 onion varieties and 4 potatoe types today along with a couple beet types and half a dozen carrot varieties.

I should try garlic this year, never done it, all I know is there are hard neck and soft neck and I think for my region a fall crop is the only real option.

I am curious if any of my asparagus made it through the winter, nothing harvestable last year (first year).

 

[Gweedo's Growroom]

I've got cut seed potatoes scabbing over, a ton of garlic, ready to go, Cherokee purple tomatoes,aswad eggplant, purple and green basil and rosemary all started in the growroom, they're about a week or 2 from transplant time now, dam basil is touchy at this stage lol gotta check on em at least twice a day and attempting to get these strawberry roots to come back from the dead

I can't get enough garlic varieties.
I grow a few differant types, that way i always get some good bulbs.
Last year was a bust for onions but we've got a new area for them this year.

We have some strawberry roots we'll give a try and we also bought 9 rooted plants too.
Love those purple taters in potatoe salad.

I don't even grow softnecks anymore, just hardnecks. They need to be in the ground late fall, here to overwinter. Well worth it........you get two harvests a year and all your seed stock for next year.

Btw, I've been selecting my garlic over 7 years, this being the 8th season coming. I have some good cultivars I can share if anyone's interested.............hit me up!

Both these trays are about 1.5 months from emergence. The one on the left is only a week behind, but I didn't select down to one per cell until today.


Another 8 in of snow in the next few days, the top inch or so of the sun exposed slopes was soft, my garden is still under snow.

I would grow some of your garlic bulbs @Willie . Are any on the hot side? I like to eat raw.

So i needed some more mushroom compost and garden soil to cut the ProMix im using to fill everything above ground with.
Oh, i forgot to brag on the deal i fell into at the local Wally's, we have,about 8 of those mollases buckets for livestock we are using for pots along with 2- 6ft long bags and a 8 ft long bag, ( did you know TSC sells Smart Pots) so we were gonna buy 10 2cu ft bags of Pro Mix and ask the manager for,a load out ticket and when he rung it up they came up $5.00 instead of $12.89 so instead of 10 bags we got 28. Heck of a deal.
Anyhow, we are garden ready.

Those yellow bush beans have a story, lol. I acquired them in 2007 and they were 12 years old then. Planted them and they were viable. Great bean, great plant. I've been saving my own seeds from those 12-13 years now.

 

[OldG]

[Skunky Dunk Farms]

Taters, horseradish, ginger, onions and garlic are up.
Getting ready to set out brussel sprouts and cabbage.
Should be seeing beets and carrots any time.
A coupke more weeks for tomatoes and peppers to come out of the greenhouse.

 

[DopeDaniel]

It didn't drop below freezing last night. I shoveled the snow away from my garden gate so I can get access now.

 

[Skunky Dunk Farms]

Our plot is starting to resemble a garden!
@Willie all the garluc sets you blessed us with are already up!!
Some of the sets we put out earlier still haven't crowned.
We're going to try to get tomatoes and cucumbers out then the peppers to follow.
