Gardening Thread - Show me your gardens!

Nice looking green pepper plants. Is that a lettuce plant? I like the timber border also.

 

Thanks. Swiss chard. I planted chard and spinach in late august but it was a bust.

 

I'm bummed. This is the first year in a long time I'm not planting garlic

 

why not?

 

I didn't remember to get my starter stock

 

Why not save some out of your harvest to stick back in the ground?

 

That would take some forethought

 

couldnt you just plant any?

 

I could but I'm a creature of habit so since my normal routine didn't pan out I'm all confused as to what to do.

 

I'm just planting some from the grocery. Regular and elephant ear.

 

A little fall plowing!

 

thats a good sized garden

 

Thanks! It was about twice that big, but as I am getting older I downsized some. The last picture is the garden at a Children’s Home where I volunteer and teach kids how to garden.

 

you have any problem with deer? We had one deer get into our garden but didnt do much damage. I actually was surprised we didnt have more but as far as we could tell it was only one.

 

I have an electric fence I put around my garden that helps with deer an raccoons in the sweet corn. But the squirrels still get in. The other garden is in the middle of town but next to a golf course and there is a lot of deer. I haven’t had them in the garden but they killed about 5 of the 30 fruit trees I planted to start an orchard.

 

lemon meringue pie

 

My garlic cloves germinated fast . Is that normal?

 

Not for where I live. That would happen around March here.

 

Never planted them in the fall but spring planting they usually come up fast for me in the Midwest.

 

Yeah, I'm confused. I read you should plant them here in the fall and harvest June the next year
