Outdoor vegetable garden 2025

[kaw900r]

75 root riots with seeds and already have seedlings sprouting. Cucumbers are almost 2". Tomatoes are starting alao

 

[kaw900r]

Progress, getting more and bigger everyday. Garlic patches are doing great.

 

[kaw900r]

Everyday things are looking better. Ordered 100 4" round starter pots and have about 20 3" pots from last year.

 

[kaw900r]

100 4" pots arrive today and the seedlings ready will be moved to get ready for outdoor life. Checked 2 roots on tomatoes look good and cucumber is ridiculous and smells life cucumber already.

I’ll be getting seedlings started soon, all the perennial plants in the garden (Artichokes, asparagus, blue berries, black berries and raspberries) all seem to be waking up. Some are waking faster than others. I might need to replant some new raspberries in a raised pot, they just aren’t digging the rich red soil here in the foothills. Artichoke plants are big, on the way to huge. Asparagus is pushing up spears as big around as my thumb. Blue berries are blooming like crazy, I hope we get a good load this year.

Started moving seedlings to pots last night with 20 done.

Garlic doing great this morning

 

[kaw900r]

Started early and too many, but I'm managing and put my 30x30x60 back up for seedlings. Transplant to pots is almost done. Garlic is doing great

 

[kaw900r]

Used daisy chain option to co troll the light until new controller comes in with exhaust fan and circular fans.

 

[kaw900r]

Garlic, doing good

 

[kaw900r]

Finally finished germ tent 30x30x60, vivosun s4 inline, e6 circular, e42 controller and bestva bat 200w

 

[kaw900r]

With s4 inline installed the tent is stable with a good environment to germinate.

I’m itching to get started but I have to wait until the first week of April or I’ll be up to my neck in seedlings. Can’t put them outside until May 24th.

Need a plan for the squirrels and rabbits this year. One I’ll relocate if they get bad, the other….

I made seeds from one or two small cucumbers last fall. First time trying to grow them from seed. Hope the do well. What type are you growing, English?

I’ve tried garlic twice, straight into the garden. No luck. Might try again after a YT video, see what I’m doing wrong.

Not sure, but here's a pic of packaging. I got them cause it said good for pickling

Ah. One of the plant late harvest next summer plants. Didn’t know that. Have a flower like that.

We grew two last year. English and pretty sure pickling. Wife got them from the nursery. They just kept growing all season. Same with the Thai and cayenne peppers.

Built 2 raised gardens today that will hold 10 5gal buckets each...

Harvested my back garlic patch of Italian getting around 300 bulbs. Still have to finish front patch of elephant and music. Vegetable garden is doing well. Also tried braiding the garlic to hang.

do you use your scapes as well? i've been freezing them right away and then using them as green onions to garnish a dish with. they have a little bolder taste than a green onion and i think they're much better.

some people even put them in soups to simmer and then remove to eat. i like to chop them up in my eggs,

I tried garlic two years ago but failed miserably. It was supposed to protect the flowers in one garden. We had been told planting garlic wards off pests. They either died or got eaten by the rabbits that have moved in since Covid.

It helps keep ground hogs away, but input a fence up around the rest of my garden and made a couple raised beds. Just harvested some Italian and music 2nd generation from what I grew the previous year. Going to let the elephant garlic grow until August
