Emcgehee Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 garden planted Where are the tomatoes and cucumbers? Strawberries? Watermelon? Squash? Okra? This is our second year attempt at gardening. Last years heat did not help us at all. Cooke the tomatoes on the vine. Great start on the garden! Hopefully the hard work pays off for you.

Ill have about 200 tomato plants in by next week, squash, zucchini, peppers, etc... I have a LOT to do but by July will have truck loads of fresh veggies!

OKstate Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Im working on my first "backyard" garden this weekend.... any advice on what to plant in limited space? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Depends on what you like. Limited space could mean a lot of things. If you like Tomato put in a couple of plants but keep in mind that a single tomato plant will literally take up a 5' space if the plant does well. Squash and zucchini is another plant that take up a large amount of space. Cucumbers vine and cover a large area, its easier to get them off the ground and let them grow vertical. If you’re not planting many go buy a cheap cattle panel at a farm supply and let the vines use the panel. If you are truly limited you can always plant thing like tomato in a 5-gallon bucket. Poke some holes in the bottom so it will drain and fill with a dirt mixture, plant the plants and let them go. This allows you to move the plants as required which is also nice. In my experience it does cut production slightly but you can always add another plant to another bucket to make up for any loss in production. Some plants like spaghetti squash or butternut require a LOT of room as they crawl across the ground. You may avoid those if you have limited space.

rbduck Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) A little to early for us folks up this way to be planting yet(-5 right now). Around here we traditionally start planting our gardens mid May. My chives are doing quite well though. As for those with limited space...google "Verticle Gardening". They have some good ideas there. Don`t forget to post pics before, during, and end results. Always nice to see. Good luck to all.

Tominator Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Too early for the warm stuff. I'm betting your corn won't do too good. I could plant lettuce, cabbage, taters, peas, but I'm just too busy right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbduck Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Well, I`m getting closer. Had a guy come in to rototill my garden(20ft by 30ft). He charged me $35.00 and took about fifteen minutes. Now to rake and plan out the garden. I do have chives up and even my strawberries are growing well although it seems a little early for them as we will probably get more frost. Plum and apple trees blooming along with gooseberries and red currants. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKstate Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Thanks for the advice! I am truly limited on space in my yard right now and this info will definitely help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Yep still too early for us! One thing I'm gonna miss about being at home is having my tomato garden. Not sure if my parents are going to put some plants in this year or not. Usually don't plant them til late may or early June. Not uncommon for us to have frosts in late May up here. Yesterday it was 80 degrees and right now it's 32 going down to 25 for a low tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
