Yes I actually bought a Mini Greenhouse for starts

We tried a few seeds directly in the ground this year and it was successful to an extent Beans, Spinach, Sunflowers

Tarps are in the equation starting after tonight,,,

Sunflowers: are well over 12 ft tall yet the actual "Flowers" will never make it to us getting seeds :(

Got the last panels of fencing up today, learned that Home depot really doesn't like that "Ship to Store" feature hehehehe

So on the first day of Summer everything looks pretty good, except we...

I use straw under the soil in the raised beds, as my very knowledgeable green thumb neighbor who I have an extreme jealousy of every time I drive by her garden told me it attracts worms hehehe

I haven't...

Second section of the Garden is going in as planned but a couple of days late, it rained for the last week or so

Ripped through the Sod last week with the Kubota and the plow just like last year,...
