Anyone here wait until Easter to plant everything besides potatoes and corn? The main garden is planted, but I would like to plant a second garden behind the house. Due to weather planting had to be stretched out planting when it was not raining. My son and I have been planting on and off for...

I am going to try growing beans this year. I have found pinto and black bean seeds locally but would like to grow some others. Will the dry beans that you buy in bags at the grocery store germinate? I would like to grow as many varieties as I can in case some do better than others in my...

This year I am thinking about making single mounds for each major plant. Beans and peas would still be planted in rows. However, stuff like squash, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant... I am thinking about tilling up a 24 inch across circle, then filling it with manure, ash, bonemeal... etc. Picture...

My aunt swears by the Old Farmer's Almanac. She will not even break the ground until the book says to. I typically watch the weather forecast and plant after the last expected frost. However, for 2019 I ordered Old Farmer's Almanac 2019 and will be planting off of it. How many people use the...

Is it guerrilla gardening if you own the land? I am going to say that it is, because my ACTIONS are the same as if I did not! I walk with a cane and I cannot tend to the plants, and so I stick them where I think they will be happy and then they either live or they do not. I picked some...

Has anyone raised rabbits just for the manure? If so, what kind of rabbit breeds did you use? I thought about getting a few rabbits so rabbit manure could be added to the garden and compost bins. A lady I work with likes the Flemish Giant, she says they are friendly and crap a lot. I have an...

For our fall garden we are going with raised beds. We would appreciate any do's and don'ts that those of you who are doing this have experienced. One idea we saw was where a person had used corrugated metal for the sides. We have extra metal around our place and could do this as well, any...

I just completed my small raised bed garden, using Cedar Logs, and trying a small HugleKultur approach as well. I'm glad it is not ready and planted just yet, considering the "monsoon rains" presently going through here in the Ozarks, up to 8" predicted. For those who live in these parts...

I have been trying to research raised garden beds and trying to find the optimal depth for a raised bed. I have never had any experience with raised beds and want to ensure that I try to get it right as much as I can the first time. Can any of you experienced gardeners out there give me any...

Many preppers are bugging in because well, they may not have anywhere else to bug out to. The reasons are many and varied, lets not dwell on them here. The bug-ins are probably well aware that their micro gardens and processed goods will only go so far for only so long. Being preppers and...

I have a garden every year, but it is at a second property and a pain to take care of. This year I am going to try raised bed and container gardening. I had a small piece of our yard that still needed to be landscaped so I thought I would turn it into a small garden area. It still has some...

Greetings, Last year was my first year planting a garden and I went with the row gardening which I had always seen. After planting I had read about another way of planting which was called "square foot gardening" which was basically planting in sections vs rows. The article I read posted a lot...
