just posted this to Alice in last week’s thread...lol
got me a jiffy greenhouse last weekend and got some seeds started on tuesday night...they’re already coming up! planted only a third of the 72 spaces so that I don’t get inundated with produce all at once...it’s just me and the wife for the time being.
planted one tomato, a cucumber, some broccoli, lettuce, spinach, red beets, carrots, and a couple bush beans all except the beans were $0.20 a pack at wally-world. beans were $2.00 a pack to get the variety that my grandad says is the best...So, I think I have a total of about $10 in this so far. Talked to my friend at the old Lesco place the other day. He said that he used some turkey manure product that they sell on his garden last year and couldn’t believe the results! it’s $27 a bag, but I may need to give it a try.
Where’s this week’s thread? lol
Are you on this ping list? There are several people from your area here and many would be interested in your hydro projects.
How big of a garden are you planning?
Are you still in FL? Coming back to WI any time soon? I admire your restraint in the seed department. I have a whole box full of seeds and more on my list to get.
Newbie, here. Could you please give me advice. I just got some seed — beans, carrots, spinach, and cabbage. I had plans of starting all of them inside, but the cabbage is the only packet that says this is okay; all of the others suggest waiting until after the frost danger and planting directly into the ground. (I’m in Zone 7.)
Are you using a heater? I found a heating pad and a temp control that should do fine
in Virginia weather.
