Gardening 2025

Too soon? Dunno.

Slowly digging out long-abandoned beds in the rolling vastness of our back 1/3 acre. Very grassy, haven't planted there in 4-5 years. Idea is to then mix in black dirt from where I pile the dead leaves.

I like to plant peppers, okra, and cherry tomatoes. Okra and peppers don't get messed with much by critters. Cherry tomatoes do, but they still leave plenty for me.

For this year I hope to attain the dream of setting up stakes and cross-pieces like a giant model Man o'War, and let the tomato vines be the rigging.

Going very slowly, partially to keep from jumping the gun and planting too soon, partially so I unfeeble my muscles at a non-painful rate.

Not too early.  I got more serious about staring transplants from seeds and picked up a few heat mats and LED grow lights from Amazon.  So far I have tomatoes, peppers, watermelons, cantaloupes, cukes, zukes, basil, cilantro, kale, onions, shallots, beans and peas started.  I also have some flowers, some decorative and some for tea and marigolds to accompany the tomatoes.  
 

New this year is tobacco, nightshade huckleberry and otricoli berry.  I’m also pumped to have 4x the producing blackberry plants compared to last year as well as a decent shot at production from my three year old plum tree.  
 

My winter garden is still cranking out lettuce, carrots and more.  The salads are amazing and I have no regerts on going year round. IMG_3344.thumb.jpeg.81cadeef7e08cd5bd6d265ec118bea55.jpegIMG_3326.thumb.jpeg.f1223eaf5e1dd770d30c8436b014ac5e.jpeg

Little help please. My 9 year old has the plant bug. He wanted an apple tree, so I bought him a Mollie's delicious. Got home and sounds like to produce fruit I need 2. So we went back and got another (Mollie's delicious). Now more reading and it sounds like you have to have different varieties?? to produce fruit. I'm confused as shit. Anybody know how the fuck this shit works?
