Vegetable Garden

[Goose]

So who's growing what? Whats the best results in timeing your plantings? Any veggy tips you wanna share?

This year:
steak tomatoes
cherry tomatoes
q cumbers
zoo key knee
green peppers
asparagus
parsley/scallions

Last year I had outstanding results turning over hard soil(never been gardened) and adding lots compost, there was alot of crab grass but you can keep the weeds down by spreading your grass clippings over the garden. I also mixed lots of ashs when I turned the soil, ashes also helps to against bugs too. I'm adding chicken poop this year not that it needs it but I was offered some and couldn't resist. You don't want to add manure every year, about every third is best. I'm gonna give asparagus a shot this year, from what I understand it takes 2-3 yrs to get the plants astablished. If you can find bamboo stakes they work great if set up like a tee pee formation, to tie tomatoe plants as they grow. I was able to run a water line over to the garden, a small sprinkler set on a cinder block in the center of the garden makes it very easy, just turn on water. I think 3rd week in may is safe time to plant.

I had a small veg garden and I had more then enough veggies, I ended up giving most of it away to the neighbors. So whats workin for you? Tips you wanna share before we plant?
