Every year you keep adding more and more organic matter to it and it will just get better and better. I bounced all over here before finally picking a permanent spot. I figure by the time I pass away I'll have the soil just about perfect!
Yeah. I hate buying eggs from the store, or anything thing else that we can raise. When we sold our last house and moved to the ranch the buyers asked if we'd leave the chickens behind. Since we were moving 2300 miles away it worked out good for both of us.
My spinache is about played out, so that frees up some room to try the green peppers again as none of them sprouted this year. Then when the potatoes are done I'll have a lot of space to reuse. Last year I got two rounds of potatoes, spring and fall. I used the springs batch to seed the 2nd planting. It didn't produce as well as the spring crop, but was still well worth planting and gave me potatoes to eat well into winter. Oh speaking of making your own seeds, I got seeds from two of the lettuces I grew! When they bolted and flowered, they make little puff balls, that are full of seeds. I'll replant some this fall and spring using these seeds. I've been trying to learn how to keep plants growing by harvesting their seeds. So far I've successfully reproduced okra, squash, cukes, tomatoes, kale, potatoes, corn, and now lettuce!
I hope my tomato's do half as well as yours are,,,,when did you plant them
It was the last week of Match when most of them went in the ground. Some I started in 6 pk pots and some store bought 6 pk. I always go that route cause they are cheaper.
What does a salmon berry taste like?
