Feed ourselves

[Dino Party]

Hey looking great in here y’all! Much more ambitious than myself this year. I got some beans, summer squash, zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers, and some different herbs going right now. Gonna move everything outside in a week or two, and then plant some more stuff like carrots and garlic and beets

We got cucumbers, salad greens, spinach and okra planted today.

Not food but not weed either. Connecticut Shade Leaf Fronto by @Mim Towls

Thinned out, much better germination rate than store bought Nicotiana (Indian Peace Pipe).

Peppers are setting buds.

More under the more red light than the 10K and 6500K lower level.

I got 8 new lamps with the new fixtures 4 10K and 4 Bloom not sure if I'll use them this year?

Need to spread the berries out more.

Edit - new pic in focus

Been a busy bee and been slacking for sure on the forum so here goes
Eggplant,basil,purple basil, Cherokee purples, going in the tent, working on multiple beds and 2 rows, beds will get the tomatoes, eggplant, lettuce, carrots, garlic, and basil, rows are getting corn, green beans, and a ton of assorted winter and summer squash, been using a few jadam tactics on everything along with some intelligent gardener tidbits, great book by the way I'd highly recommend it to anyone that gardens, beds currently have rye grass and clover to help bust it up a bit before planting, I'm gonna chop and drop it as I plant into the beds, and leave the rest with some added buckwheat to help compete out the weeds, if all goes well all the squash will be getting wet tomorrow, had some potatoes started nicely in a tower I put together but we had a nice frost 4/20 and i lost all the fresh growth, hoping they bounce back ??

Some waterproof leds would be handy.

At the tone, my garlics are now at 30"

I can eat 50 eggs...........

Strawberries in "ground".

Only 4 spares, each of the 3 beds ended up single variety and only 3 Alexandria and 2 Golden Alexandria were put in ground.

5 asparagus made it, I may have killed no. 5 though, saw it as I was turning in compost. 4 are purple washington no. 5 was somr other variery icr.

Transplanted a few of the trespasser cannabis plants and moved them into the cold frame.

Only for a short period (1hr iirc), this allows people to correct typos but not change history.

2nd Asparagus patch, carrots and onions planted this morning finally, should have had them in 2 weeks ago. Had the time 2nd guessed the weather, then ran out of time.

The Connecticut Shade Leaf Fronto (right side and the small 6pack top left) is giving me some trouble. Basically I think it needed more in the soil or I should have started fertilizing. I was waiting for the roots to fill the containers but they are as slow to develop as the foliage. They cant handle more than an hour of so of morning sun and start wilting in a matter of minutes in direct mid day. They don't drink much either so I feel like I am on the right path. @Gentlemancorpse you might know a guy who could help me out?


This will probably end up being the first berry of the season,






I lost several blossoms and budsets when they didn't get watered for a week and earlier due to cold temps. I have the raised beds mulched and some shade cloth on them, the white stuff is hail cloth and dosen't block quite enough for at least in a couple spots.

Unfortunately I haven't heard from Mim in a while. Hoping he's doing alright but he never responded to my last email. If he gets back to me I'll definitely ask him about them frontos though.

Ive already picked a dozen strawberries from my patch this year.... which is more than I got all last season lol. I like your setup for the netting, I need to do something similar. Mines just draped over the plants right now. It stops the birds but a chipmunk was still getting in there (until the cat ate him...)

That black pipe is just 1in irrigation pvc. works great for the tunnels. One kinked in the heat because its too long but its still functioning so it stays. Beyond that its duct tape and zipties.

My astilbe is nice and happy!


Neat, showy cultivar of wandflower, native one behind it.


Dragon's Tongue snapdragons



Native succulent, Allegheny Stonecrop.

The side garden is spaghetti squash, sweet potatoes, acorn squash, a sad little pepper, and taters and my badass clematis.
