What have you done for garden prep so far?

[WGregMiller]

So, the plan is to pull the trees (big weeds) out of the garden and greenhouse tomorrow, mow, till and water in everything. The kids are eating healthy now and buying organics, so they both volunteered to help. I will take it when and however I get it!

Weather here says to expect 7 or 8 inches of fain in the next week. Since I know about where you are, good luck....

Rain 12 out of the next 14 days. We'll be building an ark I suppose...

Damn, rain really isn’t good for our business.

We have either had rain or it's been too muddy from the rain to do any outside work since Fall.

When it's time for crops, I'll be doing a rain dance. (Is it PC to say that?)

 

[DrHenley]

Since when were we PC here? LOL

Just don't forget your war bonnet and war paint.

Robin, while your at it, do a dance to make our snow stop too.

 

[Robinjopo1]

Mom called at 6:30 a.m. to brag that they had 2 inches of snow last night.

We had rain.... again.

I might have to plant a garden indoors... wonder if I can grow corn under a grow light, way it’s going the garden is going to be really small this year if their is a garden :-/

 

[Maverick]

I was kidding about growing corn indoors but looking it up, it can be done using;

Miniature Hybrid
Golden Midget
Early Sunglow

Hmm, I may have to try it... curiosity

Pollination would be the draw back. Paint brushes can be used to transfer pollen. People do it for squash.

If I’m wanting to save seeds, but if I can grow 20 or 30 plants and have fans going the corn will pollinate especially if I have other plant growing for cross pollination instead inbreeding then I can save seeds.

Right now I’m looking to grow corn just for the corn and not seeds, our grow season is already short but from the looks of it, it’s going to be shorter than normal.

 

[Arcticdude]

I think we're going to have to raise our bees indoor too. Even if the yellow jackets didn't kill our hives this summer they never would have survived this winter.

I try every year, but my soil will not grow corn.

 

[Brent S]

I try every year, but my soul will not grow corn.

I’ve managed to grow some finally after multiple attempts but it was kind of mushy and not really good. Looked pretty anyways. There is a field in a low spot near heat that a guy plants it every year in that is the most beautiful corn I’ve ever seen. I need to track him down and learn his secrets.
