Garden Thread 2025?!

[CloverKnollFarms]

How many of you have started the gardens for this year?

I've gotten an acre of Phacelia planted for the bees. Another 1/4 acre will be sweet corn, pumpkins, and assorted vegetables for consumption and sale.

Starting 150 plants indoors this coming week!

I have potatoes, broccoli, cabbage and celery planted. It's so wet here not sure what will survive.

How large of an area do you garden?

Dear god, that is a nice sized garden, how do you prevent the four legged friends from taking their large share?

How large of an area do you garden?

It's about 2 acres. Fenced in with 8' high fixed knot wire.

Mine isn't quite ready.

Electric fence. Or they will eat 90% of the corn

Yeah, Jstpssng beat me to it. Gonna wait for the snow to melt first. Maybe mid-May to plant spinach, peas, lettuce, carrots, etc. Memorial day-thru-first week in June for anything else.
I have started tomatoes & peppers inside.

Crows are my biggest problem with corn.

Crows are my biggest problem with corn

Run a string about 6" high alongside each row. It doesn't have to be much, they don't like anything touching their wings.

Just put my tomatoes in starter pots, will be a while before I can move them outside,
Maybe start radishes soon.
I have a micro garden as the big one kept getting overwhelmed with deer.

Thinking of putting in corn, probably just feed the critters, but I will try anyway.
Radishes will go in, maybe next week.
