RE: My 2018 Veggie Patch... I'm All Ready To Go, But Will It Ever Happen?

in #gardening7 years ago

Nice job. I hope you win the contest. I am debating whether I should upvote now or after you might win. I'll keep this post handy for a future vote regardless.

In my area peole do grow exotics like paw-paw and goji berry. I settled on apple, grape, gooseberry, and strawberry because I love healthy sweets. And then I grow bonsai lemon and lime. In my garden, I feel like it is only fair to dedicate a small portion to growing fruit, because you have to maintain them every year. If I grew all fruits, then I would have to stop growing veggies and flowers from seed.

Very much agree with you. Sometimes I read the advice on fertilizers and planting dates, and I tend to toss it into the wind. Things that are supposed to start in spring and harvest in the fall, I am learning people in my area do better doing the opposite.

Thanks :-)
I'm not sure those exotics will succeed, since we have a colder climate, but I've read of people who grew them with success, so I should give it a try.

I'm still trying to convince my girlfriend that we don't use the front yard for anything else than park our cars, so I could just as good take half of it and turn it into a veggie patch... I still have some major convincing to do, though - lol.

Me too. The family is always asking me to not add to the garden. They think I have too much, and I think it is barely scratching the surface. Then they go out and buy a hundred flower bulbs. Ugg!

Lol - it looks like every Vegetable gardener is facing the same problem ;-)
