Re: 2023 veggie garden
I Like your mindset Tom, I think the same way, I often wonder how the heck they did everything they did back then. It's hard to find some of that info but a little basic ingenuity and a need or a goal to accomplish is usually all it takes.

Re: 2023 veggie garden
Remember folks back in the day people gathered & helped one another with info & muscle not trying to one up & discredit each other like now a days . Dirty finger nails a badge of honour.

Re: 2023 veggie garden
On that note, I would never go to a gym and "work out" even if they had them when I grew up. It was study, chores, then hockey... We were self-sufficient kids too... We each had our own little vege garden and we made enough money shovelling snow to buy candies. We loved candies. My dad has a green thumb. He grew all his veges from seeds. Not sure what variety he grew but his tomato garden would best be described as a tomato forest. The plants were about 6 feet tall. None of his kids do but one if his grandchildren has a green thumb.

Re: 2023 veggie garden
Yeah the crimson clover is really pretty with big deep red heads, the color is kind of hard to describe, I guess you'd call it crimson. Haha. So I went to see what the white clover was called, well, its called white clover. LOL and the micro clover I have from OSC is pipolina. I have all those plus alfalfa sprouting in a garden right now. In a couple of months it should look pretty cool.
Supposed to go below zero tonight with a chance of snow so if your crazy enough like me to have plants outside right now, your going to want to cover them or move them.
I found these perfect domes from dollarama that I use to cover my plants n so far they have worked well. They have been through a couple bouts of negative temps with snow and come out just fine. I attached them to a 2x6 frame to make them a bit taller.

Re: 2023 veggie garden

Re: 2023 veggie garden
Our gardens are finally all tilled, expanded a bit back to the original sizes and mostly squared off. Most are planted. Theres 21 beds in our strip till garden. I'll get a drone pic later to share, i have to contract that out to my son. Lol.
Ohhhhh but I'm not done building gardens, we have a plot for hulless oats, tarturary buckwheat and something else I can't remember. Like 25x70 or something, an old garden that has not been turned in a couple years and new, most covered in grass. Trying to find a plow to get it done as I now have a tractor! 1956 case 311. Semi restored by myself! Everything works except the tachometer. YEEEHAA!
