What's going into the south side?

Look at the bottom of this post for a full list of what in the north and south side and what is going to happen .

Damn. You're not messing around. What all do you have planted right now?

 

I've done some smaller 10x10 plots on our land to do lettuce, cucumbers, strawberries and potatoes. Haven't done it in quite a while because, to be honest, it's a ton of work.

Ty Sirius truly you should take it back up you can only gain from it. There is so many benefits that can come from it. Plus anyone can do it on any size. <3

Quite a summer project Clifford. I know that it's back breaking work, I used to spend about every other weekend with my sister in the country and then the whole summer with them as well. I worked in the fields along with them harvesting tomatoes, green beans,cukes,beets,corn,potatoes etc. sweated and swore profusely(under my breath of course) but i can say one thing though, those are some of the best memories i still carry to this day.you should be very proud, nice work... the rabbits and deer are going to love you :-)

Nice work, Clifford! You've got talent!

Ty

Why is there a load of rocks in your field, i know Irish soil is good and all but...

Ya you go about 2 inches in to the ground here and you hit nothing but rock in Republic,Missouri... But my garden has been established for over 50 years. the owners of the house before had it for 30 years in the same spot. We have been here 20 years with it being maintained so we have pick rocks but it good growing.

TY and ya I have dogs to run all the rabbits and deer away ty for the kind words.

I just it for stress and relaxation mostly. Was talking to the neighbor today and pretty sure I could support close to 3-4 family's off what I grow and maintain. So when and if shit does hit the fan. I'll be eating good along with raising and knowing how to slaughter cattle. Me FTW!

 

UPDATE!

Early harvest! For fun I grew a snap pea vine with my daughter. Despite my wife's best attempts to kill it, we kept it alive. It grew a single pod that was big as heck and she was SOOOO proud of it. I told her, "That's one healthy bean...no I mean that's ONE healthy bean..." LOL. So sweet when they're little and each new thing is an accomplishment. You clearly had people in your life that passed on the growing tradition. Excellent!

Oh and between the potato beetles and the caterpillars on the tomato plants, we kept busy in my mom's garden all summer, too!

Thank for the great story and kind words as well. If you ever want to learn how to setup something in the space you have I can help you if you want. A setup where people can not attempt to kill it off and produce more the one thing. Just let me know we can talk in Teamspeak and get all the info needed. Yes from the age of 5 I have been picking rocks in the garden and it just grow from there. Ya my garden is 100% organic but you can use powders and sprays to keep most all bugs away as well.

 

Fantastic! That's a lot of hard work.

TY

That would be nice, man. I'll definitely hit you up. My backyard is small (California, you know) but I make space. I was out doing pond maintenance today. I put it a small pond a couple years ago. It has fish, crayfish and even a small turtle. My daughters love it and have fished right out of it. I took out the floating filter plants and have a bad algae bloom right now, but I'm going to put some duckwort in it. It proliferates quickly, covering the surface and the algae die off without any sun, so I don't have to use chemicals. Then I just scoop out the extra duckwort and mix it in around my plants as compost.
