Thread: In the Garden 2019

We freeze a lot of stuff even tomatoes which are great for chili. Out freezer in the fridge is just not large enough.

I'd like to make two raised beds for the veggie and fruit garden this year. That's the goal, we will see what happens.

My buddy had a whole bunch of smart pots, so some things went into the ground, some in the pots, and some in raised beds. Everything in the beds went really well.
The hoop-houses were in a high wind area, and it was incredible how well those do in heavy weather!
I ended up building fences in various places as wind blocks, and that was a big help creating a better environment.
Super easy to build. The plastic on the market these days is much better, lets in a full spectrum, better veggies!

Thanks Mike that's really encouraging.
I like the idea of a raised bed and a hoop house.

Glen take a look what this guy did, I might have to copy his project, it seems really straightforward.
Hinged option seems like a winner.

Sometimes all you can do is smile

I tried to go dump some wood ash egg shells and other compost into the garden the other day,, I can't even get to it the snow is so deep, 5 new inches this morning and still dropping

In the last 30 days we have had over 5 feet at the ranch, I swear if the Shan says "It's sooooo Pretty" one more time

You are one of the few that can actually hear her in your head with that Minnie Mouse voice saying it too

Me Tooo! but at least your wife finds it pretty, ive tryed for 20 years to convince the wife to move up that way, had a dream when i was younger to have a small farm in Montana. her response then and now is, " good luck and send me a postcard once in a while"

At least she'd like to still keep in touch--
