what else are we growing

Haven't started anything yet, got some volunteer peas growing in one of our raised beds and our garlic was planted in the fall of course. Just ordered seeds on the weekend, will be growing several tomato varieties, radishes, carrots, kale, more peas, beans, basil, peppers hot and cold, cannabis, marigolds, petunias... for now ... have to check the honey-do-list 🤓 

Potato’s, mini Mellon’s, small tomatoes.waiting on fabric pots to do more veg.Also four canna plants.

@lovetoflyfish Fish waste in the garden is loved by all plants, we stopped doing it after getting fish bones stuck in our fingers the next year dign in the dirt. Same goes in the compost so Dad got the bright idea to set up a garburator over a bucket. Well I never saw something so funny in my life, Dad and my son came out of the shed covered with fish guts and it took years for the fish smell to dissipate from the wood shed. Dad sprayed it all down on the inside with some kind of odor eliminator, smelled like a cross between rotten fish and pine trees for years. I think the odor eliminator sealed the fish oils into the wood, it was nasty and I held my breath if I had to go in there for anything. Just another fish story. 🤣  

My daughter and I did this up one day.

😂😂sorry for laughing 😂 Sounds a bit fishy to me brother. I am going down the easy way of growing in pots mate👍

I have some San Marzano Roma and Cherry tomatoes started and will be starting some Romaine lettuce, sunflowers, some Pak Choi, and an eggplant or two in the next few weeks.

I also have some basil I like to keep on hand, as well as a Philippine Bird's Eye pepper (Siling Labuyo) that I have leftover from last summer. It went back to vegging over the winter, but now that spring is here, it seems to be sprouting some more flowers!!! AWESOME.

There is also a 3 year old Aloe plant I bought when it was only a wee lad, maybe 10cm tall. Now her leaves are almost 10cm wide, lol. There is another smaller (but still very thick) succulent, as well as a huge Dwarf Umbrella Tree that I am now reading is commonly used as a bonsai. Makes sense. As you can see, I did not bonsai mine. Lmao. They do love that supersoil though.

@templegrower u are something Else at growing man. skills 👏👏It’s all right growing a plant for 12weeks then harvest, even I can do that 🤔sometimes,but keeping them alive for years takes green fingers all right.

It has begun 

Damn Hart, you aint messing around! What you got in there?

4 tomato varieties, hot peppers, regular peppers, squash, marigolds, petunias, portulaca, cannabis, basil, oregano, thyme. I think that's it? 🍓 🍒 🌼 🌻 🌺

The perennials are popping up now! I had planted some onions seed a friend gave me last spring.. they grew nicely last year but I wasn't sure if they would come back this year. They did!! This means I now have perpetual green onions to pick all summer long, and every year now! Stoked that they survived!

We also have the rhubarb popping up (ofc) - this shit is hardy AF. I'm not sure how old this particular plant is but I would be at least 30 years. And the chives! Never fails.. some in the garden, and some growing all around out shed back near the compost area. Can't wait to get the rest of the veg in now!

And of course, the stinging nettles (Urtica dioica) have sprouted as well. I don't mind them though - they make unreal compost tea and are pretty easy to find, at least around here. You can eat them as well, as long as you neutralize the nasty biochemical weapons contained in their trichomes (YES, OTHER PLANTS HAVE TRICHOMES TOO!). Probably a good deterrent too if you can grow enough of em - they are really unpleasant to be stung by. They look a lot like cannabis as well so, for anyone needing some cover crops for a stealth grow, these would work excellent.
