A couple of ideas.

Ran out. Gotta add a little more

What kinda lights are you guys using to germinate your plants. I like the set ups you guys

Keep all the info coming!

Mine are four foot T12's.

I put my droppers on the top of the bed next to the plants, not in the middles.

I guess my digging my tomatoes up to prevent frost bite could be taken as the second transplanting. I gave my next door neighbor about a third of my garden. He did nothing, and his plants did fine. I gave a neighbor about 300 yards north of me some plants. He put his in after our coldest night, and lost all of his to a really mild frost. Mine are now putting on some buds.

I'd like to plant some seeds, but the soil is not yet warm enough.

I see some of you have some nice gardens,do any of you use any carpet to control the weeds and keep moisture in the ground when it gets hot ?.

Are you talking about garden FABRIC to control weeds?

Yes I do

my nephew used regular carpet from houses when he could find it.He was a organic type guy and didn't use any poisons to control weeds or insects.

What does he do about stink bugs? That is what always does my tomatoes in.

I planted carrots, lettuce, collards, mustards and swiss chard yesterday. I think Spring is here to stay.

seeds or transplants?

Seeds. Gonna wait another week or so for peppers, tomatoes etc.

Good Luck

We have Brussels sprouts,onions,broccoli,cauliflower and spinach. Still have a lot to plant. Got the rows ready for the others.

lets see some pics larry

I'll try to get some pics this weekend. This is my third year gardening. Still learning slot. Good thread.

I haven't seen him in awhile since they live in Okla but those organic people have their own concoctions they mix up.

Been talking to East via P.M. about our gardens, he asked me to post up some pics so here you go. Finally got out there last weekend & got it all tilled up & planted my onions, the two rows to the right of the picture are white onions & the two rows to the left are red onions. I just bought 12 Celebrity Tomato plants & four Jalapeño plants but I think I'm gonna wait one more week to plant them. I also have some Cherry & Better Boy tomatoes that I started from seed but I just got the cherry seeds in dirt 2 weeks ago & the Better boys 1 week ago, so they are going to be way behind my Celebrities if they even make it. I don't have any lights, I have them in cups in our garden tub, it has a skylight above it & gets good midday sun, so hopefully they will. Today I got some weed control fabric, so my maters will be planted in a weed free area, I guess I'll just have to deal with pulling the weeds from the other half of the garden (since I already have the onions planted)

Looks great birddog. Save some room for my left over zucchini and squash, I will have more than enough.

And for your viewing pleasure I present el gardeno de êast

Looking good!!!

CC looks good. If you want to use the fabric on your onions, cut a strip that covers the length of the row. Then lay it next to the plants. Cut from the edge and slide the fabric over to cover the row. Then do the same from the other side and use the staples to hold in place.

The other way to do it is to cut the strip the length of the row. Roll it up then start at the end of the row. Unroll to the first plant and roll it over the plant. Cut a hole around the plant and continue for the rest of the row.

Looks good East. el gardeno de êast
