We all like growing things around here, but don't get around to sharing our non-bonsai projects very often. Up here in the northern hemisphere it's just about time to plan our summer plantings, whether it be flowers, vegetables, landscape plants, your nursery side project, or your whole farm of crops to feed the masses. I imagine in the south, someone is harvesting something right now, and that totally counts, too.
Let's talk other growing stuff and the fruits of our labors!
Last summer we bought a house! Nearly two acres on the outskirts of town with irrigation. That apparently means we have to plan and plant an entire friggin' farm to match the 900 square foot chicken coop I built.
On the list already:
About 100 tomato plants in some dozen or so varieties
About a half dozen varieties of cucumbers
Squash; name one; we're apparently planting one of everything
20 melons; about half of them different watermelons
Two 100 foot rows of sunflowers of about 7 or 8 varieties
Only about a dozen and a half brassicas: about 2 to 4 varieties each broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage
Lettuce; about 5 varieties
I guess radishes are a thing this year because there's about 8 varieties, including wasabi.
We're still arguing over where to put the potato pyramid.
And I don't remember the rest of my wife's list. Bipolar is fun... except for the part where I have to keep up.
But first we need an 8 foot fence to keep the deer out, and guess what isn't available now days. Fencing supplies.
That said, I'm stoked to try growing tobacco for the first time. As soon as I find a place to put it. It's time to plant the starts, but our grow room is full, and then I still need to plant them outside eventually.
