Turkeygirl Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Just wondering, how many of you plant vegetable gardens and what do you plant? I have a garden that I plant pumpkins/gourds and carrots and potatoes in (because Andy is lazy and won't plant potatoes anymore,lol) and then we have another garden where Andy plants corn and mom plants the tomatoes, onions, peas, beans, brussel sprouts, cucumbers, zucchine, summer squash and acorn/butternut squash. We also have asparagus that comes up each year and it sure beats asparagus from the store! So anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Re: Vegetable gardens? Yep. Keeps me busy during the summer. So far this year I have carrots, 3 types of taters (on track for harvesting around 700lbs of taters), pumpkins, summer squash, acorn squash, cukes, watermelon, cantaloupe, 2 types of peas, 2 types of beans, 3 types of sweet corn. I also planted broom corn for the birds and deer. I'll also plant some soybeans for the wildlife and nitrogen fixing for next year's corn. I'll take a picture later today and try and get it posted here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7th Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Re: Vegetable gardens? I am getting a late start on it this year, the only early stuff in is cab, brock, and that stuf. My shoulder has not let me get the stuff in, going to have my oldest son till it up and see about getting it in next weekend. ( I think my shoulder is getting cut on the 6th) Mommy told me, with me gone so much now, she was not going to do such a big one. We don't use chems on our stuff and she sells at the market on Sat.

Squirrelhunter91 Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Re: Vegetable gardens? We plant tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchinni and peppers. But those darn woodchucks eat the cucumber tops before they start producing cucumbers. That's why I'm out to get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I'm out to get him. [/ QUOTE ] I have surrounded our garden with 4' high welded wire fence. I also have 2 strands of electric fence. One runs just above the top of the fencing and one strand is 3" off the ground. That has put a complete stop to critter problems. Even the deer stay out now. One little nip from that fence, and they don't want anything to do with that whole area. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Re: Vegetable gardens? We wanted to do a full garden this year but time isnt necessarly on our side. We ended up planting tomatoe plants and cucumbers in some large planters. I just noticed that some tomatoes are now comming on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
