Gardening Thread - Show me your gardens!

Save your money, and buy some .22 cb’s.

 

Anyone started their seeds yet?

 

CCI standard velocity, plus something that goes on the end of the barrel

 

But like I said, I’m trying every other route before that one.

 

Yes they are small holes. I kind of figured, but the only evidence I seen was the holes. No foot prints in the snow, or tunnels. Odd...

Thank you for the dog friendly approach. I will try that!

 

Not quite. I’ll be starting onions first of February.

 

This reminded me to buy some Balan and put it down. I hate mowing weeds. If I can kill them I don't have to mow until mid May.

 

You need a dog. Preferably one that likes to chase things!

 

If they are voles/moles... cats work wonders! Our neighbors have outdoor cats and now mice, rats, moles, voles are no longer a problem!

 

Yeah, when we first got Smokey he was killing machine; 2-3 rodents a day for the entire first summer he was here. Since then it's only been 1-2 a week, and he doesn't spend any less time hunting.

 

Seeing this makes me very happy and like spring training in baseball, it indicates winter will be over soon.

 

I've got a while to go yet. -12 here yesterday morning.

 

We are getting the house ready to sell. I hope we are in a new one in time to get a garden going this year.

 

Some of the fruit trees are waking up.

4 in 1 Apple tree
Dorsett Golden, Gordon, Fuji and Anna.



4 in 1 Pluot tree
Flavor Queen, Flavor King, Flavor Supreme, Dapple Dandy.



Fruit Salad tree
July Alberta Peach, Fantasia Nectarine, Blenheim Apricot, Santa Rosa Plum, Babcock Peach.

 

It's about 30x50 sq. ft... but under about a foot of snow at the moment.

 

The citrus are ripe for the picking.

Moro Blood Orange. I love to put a slice of this in my ice tea each morning.
It adds a unique taste that a normal orange doesn't have.



Improved Meyer Lemon. Large and not as acidic as a regular lemon.
My wife cuts these up and puts it in her water container every day until they are gone.



Calimanci Seedless and Calamandin with seeds.
Asian citrus. Very strong for their size. Actually tastes better than lemonade when sweetened.

 

Nice to see the garden thread get going for another season. Got a new watering scheme going and adjusting the timing. Will be planting in 3-4 weeks. Also had my redwoods thinned out .

 

I'm still working on my seed order

 

Got my peppers started a couple days ago. Potatoes will hopefully get in the ground in a couple more weeks if it ever stops raining.
