I was doing a bit of weeding around mine today. Gonna ease into it :rofl:
Lots of flowers, no fruit yet that I noticed.

Trying to get my seeds started tonight for the rest of the garden. I'll be growing on the enclosed porch for a month before it's nice enough to transplant into the garden. Hoping the kid comes home so I can ask him where he hid my trowels :slap: Can't find them. Looks like I might end up mixing a bucket of dirt with a damn tablespoon.

Our winter was so mild that everything is growing early.

I'm in no rush. Will get down to 29 degrees here before the Sun comes up tomorrow. Besides, planting early means harvesting earlier in many cases and I'd have to alter my vacation plans to do that because I co-ordinate my time off to do canning and freezing.

Earlier harvest would make for a longer over-Winter too. I'm just now using up the last of my frozen veggies and winter squash. Harvesting a month earlier means running out a month sooner. What I'd like to do is find more early harvest stuff (like the strawberries). If I can dove-tail these things that would help enable sustainability. No sense in going hungry and I hate shopping :D

Been processing the chewing tobacco I grew last year for the last couple days now. It's been hanging in the garage all Winter. Only working on about a third of last years crop (grew 12 plants) but what PITA that has been trying to steam and ferment two huge stacks of leaves. Stripping leaves now and then comes the flavoring. Using a combination of Fireball whiskey and Grandma's robust molasses... Taste is not too shabby :hurray:

Just finished stripping the leaves. That was another big PITA trying to minimize stems. Got a big kettle full though. Will probably be flavoring and vacuum packaging the rest of the night... If I can get up enough energy :rofl:

It'll be good for the corn. It seems like I'm always criticizing something, but why are your rows so far apart? Looks like about 4'. BTW, when your corn gets to be about knee-high tall, side dress it with some high nitrogen fertilizer and plow it under. Repeat at tassel stage. It will give your corn a big kick in the butt!

Not quite that wide but wide enough to take my riding mower between. Jk, wide enough to get between easier for weeding. Last year they were too close together. I made them raised cause of the flooding too, otherwise all that would have been under water. I put some 10-10-10 on the side a week ago and will do it again. It needs to dry out so I can get in there and fill in the spots that didn't come up.

See the strawberries at the far end? They were completely surrounded by water. Probably 3" or deeper in some spots. The straw was floating and berries were in water.

Probably something else too :D

Here's how to build it: Get some 2" x 12" pressure treated pine. Make an octagonal planter, 2 tiers high. You can make the bottom tier as large as you want, but starting with 30" boards should easily suffice. All boards will be a miter cut at a 22.5 degree angle. Cut 8 boards for the bottom tier, assemble them with nails, but also use a 12" strip of galvanized hanging strip (the kind used to hang A/C ducts in the attic) at each joint, screwed on.

You'll also need some cross braces to support the second tier, at least 2" x 6". Make the second tire that is 12" smaller than the first tier (12" of planting room). Don't try to go 3 tiers high; it's too hard to keep the plants moist on a third tier.

Transplant the strawberriy plants in Winter, being careful to keep their extensive root system moist. You plants may skip a year of producing after transplanting. You need to destroy strawberry plants after 5-7 years anyway because they invariably get diseased and start producing "mutant" berries.

Make dirt using a 50/50 mixture of Miracle-Gro Vegetable soil and native dirt. Keep it moist at all times! This will not eliminate your slug problem, though, unless you install copper strips on the outside of the planter.

I was thinking about a 6' x 12' raised garden to prevent the flooding. I was also wondering about the base to keep moles out. Would chicken fence covered by weed block stop moles and weeds but allow for drainage?

Chicken wire is not fine enough to keep moles out. You need something with a finer mesh.

A raised bed should never be more than 4' wide. You simply can't reach midway into the bed, at least not comfortably, it it's wider. Remember, you'll be tilling/planting/weeding/picking on your knees (unless you like a lot of bending over).

Flooding: A raised bed won't do any good if it's sitting in water; you'll have to place it in higher ground. Always put down black plastic sheeting under the planter; just be sure to slice lots of drainage holes in it.

That'll work. In that case you're going to have to build your beds 4' wide because that's how high (wide in your case) such fencing is.

Forgot to add: Fencing under dirt won't last very long, even if it's galvanized.

No, no! You can build as many planters as you like, and you can make them as long as you want. But...several 4' x 8' planters would look much nicer. I have one octagonal, tiered planter for my strawberries (holds about 30 plants), and it makes all the berries my family can eat.

Like I said before, don't attempt to make an octagonal planter 3 tiers high; you simply can't keep the top tier moist.

It doesn't have to cost nearly that much. Go to Lowe's/Home Depot to buy either 3-2x12x8 or 3-2x12x12 PTP. Check the prices--sometimes 2 12' boards are cheaper than 3 8' boards. You'll also need 1-2x4x8 PTP for each planter, plus some 2.5" square-head galvanized screws.

Cut a planter 4'W x 8'L. Cut the 2x4 into 4 pieces 10" long each and 2 pieces 4" long each. That'll leave you 48" of 2x4.

Assemble the planter using the 10" pieces at the corners screwed together with the galvanized screws. At the middle, screw the 4" pieces to the side and run a 2x4 brace across the width to keep the planter from bulging.

About $30 each.

Not where I live.The lumber alone was close to $300, and I used every inch of it. I didn't use screws, I put a 4x4 on the inside of each corner and used 5" bolts with big washers. This was perhaps an overkill, but they are holding up very well and I'm glad I did it this way.:seasix:

Froze them and just ate the last of it about a month ago. Should get twice that much this year... Definately needs to last longer :D

Mine was very disappointing last year.

That's a groundhog.

That's what I was thinking. Couldn't he just dig under the fence? It is a Groundhog after all.

No holes anywhere around the fence or in the garden. Maybe he is lazy. Something has climbed the fence at a corner post and gotten some corn. Either him or the raccoon.
