Garden 2022

I learned a lot over the past two years, but I'm sure I'll be back on here asking y'all questions again this year.
Wife already has her sweet potatoes "toothpicked" with the bottom half submerged in pint jars of water. We have already purchased a lot of seeds and our guest bedroom floor will be covered with seeds in flats for tomatoes, peppers and other goodies soon.

Lettuce really benefits from being covered with row cover and a really good drink of half strength miracle gro every 10 days or so.

I got a bag of Miracle Grow (will add another this year) mixed with my dirt and last year I mixed in a pack of Miracle Grow every couple weeks when I watered. So I’ll keep that up with the lettuce. Thanks!

I’m always on the look out for buying seeds or plants especially in the off season. I’ve saved a lot of money going to nursery’s in the fall.

Just salted my asparagus bed. Already have seeds ready to go and tiller fired right up so reckon I’m ready.

What do you mean by salting asparagus beds? Never heard of that.

You just put rock salt on the asparagus bed. Lol. It kills weeds and a fungus that attacks asparagus. Asparagus is one of the few plants that likes high salt content soil.

Been busy filling the fields myself. Got plans for 12 acres this year in produce.

Lordy, I couldn't imagine the stress of 12 acres and dealing with the public at the same time!

I always managed my operation well until it came to people showing up to buy. Double edged sword.

Kennebec is hard to beat for all purpose use.

We only use Kennebec, good anyway you fix them!

Hey Barney, where would you recommend ordering some of those Seascape Strawberries from? Picked up some Quinnalts at Wally World a couple weeks ago & started them (or tried to start them) in pots in the house & not a single one of them shows any sign of coming back to life..... Grrrr!

I would recommend Indiana Berry company, but I would guess they have already sold out for the season.
