Well I'm getting a proper start to the 2019 garden. More seed starting next month

Bought a new tiller 4 yrs ago was going to get back into gardening. raised a big garden that year lots and lots of xtra stuff couldn’t hardly find anyone that would come gather it free of charge and no time for the market so lots of stuff wasted ! Also that year I figured out that fish are really bite n when gardening needed done couldn’t do both sold the tiller went back to fishing!
I quit a couple years ago. Fat lady next door installed a hot tub outside. Chemicals destroyed the soil. Musta been the alum.

My 84 year old stepdad already has tomatoes and peppers up about 4" tall. He raises all his plants from seed. He has built removable shelves for the window sills in the house. He rotates the little seedlings from window to window on a daily basis until it's warm enough to put them outside. He really enjoys growing and giving to all the family. Nothing better than some fresh veggies!
Good luck with yours.
I don't get too carried away. I only have 1- 8' and 1- 12' raised bed to tend to and 2/3 of the 8' bed is asparagus. I only plant peppers, tomatoes, okra, green beans and sometimes squash in the early to summer season, and not too many of those. I plant 7 top and mustard greens in August, that way they are ready for Thanksgiving for my Mom. I usually tend to the garden patch in the evenings, or after a fishing trip, those don't last all day anymore. Watering is handled by soaker hose and a watering timer.Quote:

I do the same at times, we have the Chattanooga Market on Sunday mornings during the season which starts in April.
I've grown a lot of those same veggies over the years and a large variety of peppers. The bugs don't fool with peppers much -- especially the hot ones. I combine my crappie fishing with my gardening and use crappie heads as fertilizer.
You know, I think I have a bag or two of Crappie trimmings in my garage freezer.... Thanks for reminding me about them.Quote:

Ok my fellow Gardner's / Crappiehaulic's, this is a game changer... I'll never hoe another row... Nor miss a good day of fishing.

it is best to bury the fish carcasses in the fall or winter months. If you bury them now, you are asking dogs and raccoons to dig up your garden.Quote:

I’m trying one Mortgage Lifter tomato plant and one Golden Jubilee. I am watering with the water from the creek that runs by my driveway instead of using tap water this year. T
The bucket garden is tomatoes and peppers, the raised bed is green onions, snap peas, green beans and okra... My peppers are a little more scrawny than I would like. Hopefully this hot weather bring the peppers and okra along. Attachment 344123Attachment 344124Quote:

Seemed like a cool idea and I was wanting to see your results. That looks pretty easy to maintain. Not a weed in sight! That allows for fishing time. LOL
Good luck with the garden and the fish and thanks for your reply.
