Looking good, Collector! :woot Really enjoyed all your photos in this thread, Steve.

I don't think there's anything better than Spring! :watering

Ours were started from transplants. Although, we have direct seeded them in the past.

We usually plant broccoli at the original soil line on the plant, or only slightly higher, maybe 1/4" more. Cabbage though - I bury it up to almost the bottom of first leaf cluster if it's "leggy" at all. Tomatoes - I always plant deep.

Yummo! SOunds like a wonderful day. Glad you didn't suffer any greater storm damage.

We bought Red Fingerling seed potatoes online last year. The crop was fabulous! We only ate 2 meals (to die for!) and saved the remainder for this year's seed potatoes. And let me say...that was tough, 'cause we wanted to gobble them all up! It worked out. We've planted 100 total feet of Red...

OooOOOooo, Thanks for all the cooking ideas. :) We ate some tonight...stir-fried with garlic, olive oil, salt & pepper, squeeze of fresh lemon. OMG, Heaven...and actually a great side dish with grilled burgers! LOL We'll do some with soy sauce and sesame seeds before the week is out. And some...

Checkout our Bok Choy. We're having a wonderful crop this time. I felt guilty about not getting it mulched...but it did fabulous anyway!

Thanks...that helps and we'll give it a shot! And, no, not from the grocery store. Although in times past that's how we got our Yukon Golds started cheap too. LOL The purple sweet potatoes we have came from another farmers market grower.

We usually purchase sweet potato 'slips' to grow each season. But this year we have purple sweet potatoes we saved from another source in Fall. We also save our own Irish potato and fingerling varieties for seed potatoes. The always sprout eyes, and we just cut them up to plant. But the...

Looking great! I just love that photo of your DD with her playhouse and flower bed. :love

Lovely! I have greenery, but no flower shoots yet.

Interesting. I hadn't thought of growing in a bag. I may try that. We have plenty of feed bags. We've planted our main potato crop in rows as always. But I have some seed potatoes left and could try this.

I agree on more than 6" too. Really, you can't grow a root crop well in less than a foot of soil. And the others all benefit from a deeper soil bed too.

Go Hoodat!

Yes, pretty much all flours are susceptable to beetles although some more so than others. I would keep it in the freezer.

Very clever! I'd also like to see more pics when growing starts.

Thanks for the idea! We have blue popcorn and red popcorn, both wholesale but 'store bought type'. It's a little pricey, even wholesale. I'll try planting some.

Dixondale is great. We order onion transplants from them every year. This year we've lanted 5 varieities from them - Candy (yellow), Bermuda (white), Super Star (white), Southern Belle (Red), Red Candy Apple. Good article. We've always had good results following their planting tips. Important -...

Well, that's much lovelier than mine - it's just plain black, used & discarded by a previous owner and we decided to salvage it. Very creative by the kids. Nice job!
