So how's everyones 2025 garden planning going?
Began getting my seed catalogues in December, and ordered most of whatI wanted/ needed.
A local stables just turned their horse manure pike over and offered it to whomever wants, so I picked up about 10 buckets worth. I'll likely make one more trip this week. Im trying to stay ahead of the game, so once April comes I can hit the ground running.
This weeks project is to check my fertilizer, fungicide and stuff I have for pests to see what I have and what I need. Again, I want to order it soon and have everything ready to go.
I now have an indoor plant room, which I housing some of my more tropical stuff ( an my mushroom tent and aquaponics system are in there ). But eagerly awaiting April, when I start my seeds. I finally have a specific place to do it.
I also have been reading all my notes from last year ( an past years ) so I an duplicate what when well, and avoid what didnt.
In general, my garden lay out will be the same. The backyard is primarily raised beds, so there will be some crop rotation, but the layout wont change. The front yard ( over than the potatoes and mushrooms ) is just bare land, so I can do whatever I want, where I want to. Lately Ive been using for crops like squash, and viney plants, where they ave the room and freedom to spread out.
I'll start getting my hands dirty next month when I start a bunch of fig cuttings and prune some of the fruit trees outside.
Im growing less varieties of tomatoes but the same amount of plants. Trying to stick with what works well in yard, and with my hands.
My daughter in law ( from China) sent me a bunch of Seeds from China, which Im looking forward to growing. Most leafy greens. Ill probably have a few other interesting, new to me veggies Ill grow this year.
