Also known as the yearly Garden thread.
This is where we document our gardens and share our successes, failures, what-the's? and whatever else might happen in the garden. As long as it's garden related. We don't want to know what happens in the garden for anything else, got it?
To kick it off:
I've got the indoor starts going: broccoli, brussel sprouts, 3 kinds of peppers, some herbs, and of course, tomatoes. My stupid dog that eats ANYTHING destroyed half of the tomatoes (thank goodness for Cox's). Planted half the peas in the beds last weekend; they are just started to peek above the dirt. And tonight I planted the second round of broccoli and brussel sprouts directly in the beds. Also planted the onion sets, lettuce, and spinach. I know it's late, but with the spring temps we've had, I was scared to death to plant any earlier.
And I found out that the outdoor spigot that I use to water the garden has busted. I got no water through the hose when I went to water in the seeds. So I checked the basement. Yep, water. Figures. We just finished that section of the basement and will now have to rip out some of the drywall ceiling to make the repair.
So there it is. The inaugural post for the 2014 growing season.
