I have my first garden. One raised bed with cantaloupe, radishes, onions and tomatoes. One raised box for sweet potatoes. I am enjoying it immensely. I’m on probation...if I do well with these two beds I may add another. My husband overheard me talking to the plants and now calls me the radish whisperer 🙂

I've got a little selection of a few thousand varieties!



nice set up you have there!

Everything is thriving after two weeks except one strawberry plant. It’s leaves at the bottom all turned white and brown. I might have over watered it. Though the one next to it is beautiful. I hope it holds on.

I'm just hoping I don't have to re-plant my tomatoes and peppers for the third time. Seventies last week, back down to low 30's at night now.

Thank you for sharing.

My newest longshot is trying to sow the seeds from the sugar bomb tomatoes I purchased from the grocers. Any tips on growing tomatoes? Actually looked complicated based on the video I saw, which required bending part of the lower stem into the dirt.

Also, I did the bury technique with store purchased potatoes that I tried to grow and lost 50% of the yield. The plants didn't continue to grow once buried.

My wife and I are getting into permaculture, and I just bought our daughter a hydroponic gardening kit for her birthday.

That's you? Impressive! Love those hay bale arrangements - what a terrific idea!

Good gardening to you! Not growing any foodstuffs myself, but I put in a couple of lilac bushes, one in each of the past two years. And they are ALL happening now! Glorious!

My tulips did not do well. Only one set came up again. The rest, I guess, fed the moles and gophers over the winter... Oh well.

But my little magnolia tree that my daughter gave me for Christmas three years ago has doubled in height!
