2020 gardens......

[Rebel SS]

Good. Been there every day and going tomorrow.

[LPS]

Hope you are ok Rebs.  Warm weather is right around the corner.  I can't wait...   

So just west of Wadena there is this nice house out in the country in a little neighborhood and they have the coolest raised gardens.  It is like culverts.  Nice and shiny new ones cut off at maybe 36" high.  Probably 36" or 48" diameter. They must have about 5 or 6 of them from what I remember.  Made a great looking garden.  Can weed whip around them easily too.  I am going to the County Hwy Dept. to see if they have any old ones.  They do give them away because they won't use a used culvert.  Some they replace aren't in terrible shape and may have some good sections to cut out.  It's gonna be rusty in spots but I would just buy a can of galvanized paint and clean it up.  Cut them off with my torch.

I may be onto something.  At Menards corrugated metal panels that are 26" high and 12' long.  So make it a circle and it would have a diameter of 45" maybe a little less for the overlap to bolt the ends together.  SKU 1558104

Went out and cleaned up after the wind Rai. And snow yesterday. Tended to the bird feeders. Wondering around the yard I noticed the rubarb started popping out of the ground. Some of the winter onions that I planted also showed up.

[Bobberineyes]

Doesn't FF sell bonnie plants? If anything I see on their website you can order online if it comes down to it. But ya, I picked the wrong year not to jump start seeds..

[glenn57]

I usually don't stick that stuff in the ground till after fishing opener most years. We got time!!👍

[Rebel SS]

I see Menardo's House of Bargains has Schulz grass seed, 3 lbs, on sale for $7.99 Good price! Think Bobber mentioned something about that in another thread.
Now, for Turfbuilder somewhere, or Milorganite.

[Dotch]

Hey, those radishes I planted yesterday are up already!

Was hoping the rhubarb would motor along a little faster but seldom do we have rhubarb ready for pie and sauce from our patch on Easter. Under the snow again which with lows in the mid-teens coming up is probably a good place for it. Had bought some Schwan's vanilla ice cream the other day just in case. Just hafta suffer thru another strawberry pie if I have to I guess. 

[glenn57]

talked to da General...…..he's coming over Monday or Tuesday next week under the cover of darkness to till my garden!!!!!

[glenn57]

on my home from my shop visit, I drove past the waite park fleet farm...…...it is kinda on my way home.

looks like there stocking up there greenhouse stuff!!!!!! I could see hanging plants hanging outside the huts and some stuff inside the huts!!!!!! the sign also said open.

[mike89]

sounds the same as Alex....

[Auggie]

Have Lettuce, Radish, peas, garlic, potatoes, a few green beans, beets and a little dill in the ground as of today.
Will wait a few weeks for the rest of it.
Also planted 4 acres of corn and some beets in the food plot today. And a few rows of sweet corn. Will plant the soybeans and rest of sweet corn at a later date.

[roony]

After a little sight rain we have the first sprigs of asparagus  coming up.

[Dotch]

Radishes planted right before the snow on the 11th are starting to emerge. Little rain on them didn't hurt. Rhubarb liked it too. 

[deadeye]

Too early for me.  Yesterday I tilled all the gardens.  Will have to get serious about what to plant this year.  My wife started some stuff in pots that we can move in and out. 

[HD]

'm going lite this year....
I got beets, radishes, green beans, garlic, cucumbers and some corn in the ground. Whatever comes up, comes up.

[LPS]

That sounds more than lite to me.  Beets.  Now that is an idea.  I can't wait for cukes and tomatoes.

I'm getting lazy. Usually I have a few plants of Romas, dill, dinner onions, peas and 8 to 10 pepper plants. I'll probably not can anything this year.
