How does your garden grow?

Looks like a self sufficient man cave.

Distributed most of my Panorama Paydirt. Ready to start my peas and potatoes in some areas.

Couldn't go to sleep the other night thinking about gardening stuff. Woke up just after 4 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep in thinking about gardening stuff.

Got just about enough Paydirt to put in the 3 new Gardeners Supply containers I bought to add to the 3 I have already that go atop the rails around the back deck. Easy to keep watered there. Add fish emulsion for fert.

Did my seed starts a week ago Sunday and have some tomato, cantaloupe and cauliflower coming up already, if we get some more sunny days that should help the rest to get going.

Dan . . . in your greenhouse or a window? You're not that far from me.

Mine are po'-boy greenhouses, made from 5 doz egg crate cut to fit into Costco clear muffin boxes. I move them from an east to a south window during the day. When they get big enough to put in pots they go outside on nice days.

Every year I grow tomatoes in black 15 gallon pots on my deck. If I used fresh cow manure in the bottom 1/3 or so of the pot and cover it with composted soil, anyone see a problem with that? Otherwise I will stick with year old manuer as much as I can. My renter kept a couple heifers in the small area where we had a year old manure pile so I now have a mix.

Fresh can be a bit 'hot'. I would stick with year old and leave the fresh for next year. Definitely don't try it with fresh chicken manure! We mix aged cow or chicken manure with sand and peat moss as an additive.
