Yee

Is this where we post feet

Can we rename it victory gardens and green thumbs?

They making a comeback

May as well bring the name back as well

dope

@Ramrod1992 hows that

Economic downturn has farm supplies business booming because grocery stores threatening to close around the country, everyone wants a garden

I have a green thumb but hate gardening. Who woulda thunk

Aww yis

Remember boys compost is great, paper products and food scraps with water and weekly flipping

Put your compost pile uphill of your garden as the water run off is good for the garden but bad for the waterways

Leaves, yard clippings, small branches (smaller then your thumb) and animal poo (rabbit, birb, dog, cat (not the litter just the poop) horse, chicken) makes great compost. My work has HUGE compost runs and my boss is crazy about it so any questions feel free to ask

Have no clue why its upside down lol

ah an Australian garden

oh you do like in ground planter boxes

One side is in ground, the other is slightly above

Gonna try a trickle down system of watering the high end first and let the drainage water the low. Got a plan to get a big 55gal blue barrel for rain water for the garden

Gonna hook the barrel to the gutter and spigot the bottom. Run a hose across the yard and turn on for a couple minutes every morning

And if i need to I can use the water for home

Gotta wait a couple days before I can acquire wood ash. Used to be filled with giant fuckin' weeds. Threw in some half degregated maple leaf litter, then expanded the length another 2'. Final frost date is the 20th so I got a minute to work the soil every day.

Not gonna lie boys. Im depressed about my garden getting flooded

Can't even work on it because its still too muddy

It'll get there boss just do what ya can 👍

Yea add sand and try to salvage what I can. Rain coming next week so hopefully after that I can get in the garden and get it sorted out

You got this king

Yeah. Its looking good so far on the sprouting side

@Ramrod1992 nice spread

Thanks. Got pintos started too

18 planted in my egg carton planters. Beans for winter boys

Mantis ootheca by my raspberries

I need berry bushes

These were here when I got here and I didn't even notice. They're mine af now so gotta work on staking and protecting them

Hell yeah

I got big bushes in the back, not sure if they are berries that aint mature or a regular thorn bush

I was stoked to see them. My husband was like "they have been here for a while and I was thinking about cutting them down". I love him but I almost stabbed him.

Lol oof

He's been real cool about moving my plants around the workout room so I guess all it took was gentle education in the form of "but I wanna make jelly"

Homemade jelly is motivation enough

Hells yeah

Im out here restarting my garden sprouts. Kids killed alot of them

Well that sucks on toast.

So im dumping soil and putting them in bags to hang in the window

But i got beans for days

And okra

So I aint starvin

Fuck yeah I got okra seeds sent to me. Probably start some here in a couple of weeks so it can get good and toasty out.

My buddy in TN has enough okra seeds to last several lifetimes, so if anyone wants any, I can reach out to see if he'd be interested in selling or donating some

They are literally the easiest thing to grow. Start them and put them out after frost date and watch them go

Yeah frost date here is the 20th

I've used the shit out of them learning Cajun cooking but have never grown them personally

Got a big storm coming from the north and its gonna get frosty next week

Laaaaaaaaaame

Lol its cool
Hail
Wind
Rain
Cold temps
Perfect

Ngl the hail last night made the soil easy to work with today. I was half expecting the onion leaves in the other plot to be shredded but them lil shits are tough

It's a weed

Woo!

😉

I found this in my back yard and brought it inside, anyone know what it is?

Baby bean perhaps?

Lol

Neighbors apple tree. Needs clipped

Its past pruning seasonshouldve done it a month ago

Cut all the suckers (anything pointing upwards) cut off anything too tall for you to reach because thats waste of nutrents and any branches that are too long just above a bud. Its a kinda as you feel thing just very important is apart from suckers and the top anything that looks crowded you cut above the bud

Once it starts fruiting and they are still hard yoy should go through and thin it out. if you have anything thats closer then a clenched fist away then purge the smaller ones and insure all young fruits are farther then a fist apart. Harvesting should take a while, if they start dropping its about time, leave some you think need more growth and take any bad ones and add to compost

Yeah. Well it aint mine but im gonna ask if they will let me prune it still

2 sacks of sand and a deep tilling got me back to where i need to be

Nice

I figure I can plant next Friday and be out of the frost danger

Gotta start more seeds

Careful some states are denying people from buying seeds because gardening is 'non-essential'

Yeah I got plenty but my state is still selling non essential items

Anyone know what it is
I just had it gifted to me like that

I think it's an oak

Cool

May be a pecan tree but im no tree expert

Plant it with pleanty of space and a deer net and find out in 3-4 years

Thanks

Fuxk I didnt even know this channel existed!

Perfect.

@Ramrod1992 hey btw if you till it up, hay works as well as sand for that clay

Like straw and hay

I know how to make strong as fuck barriers, it uses straw and tall grass in place of rebar, it works

@насильственное убийство let's see it.

@Deadbeat Radio huh?

@Deadbeat Radio also, the cememt uses some kinda mud that you gotta mix yourself using kaliche and clay found in the desert

Shale would also work in the mixture

OOOOOOOR, you can just buy bulk cememt, which is super cheap usually
