KK,

What kind of beer do you like? (we also have some good wine) I might need to invite you over for a nice lunch or dinner some time. It would be nice to get a second opinion on not only the garden, but also some landscaping ideas. Lots of property, where some of it we would want really nice, and the other sections just a basic field. Looking at some Kwanzan cherry trees to line the driveway, etc. A mixture of hick and sophistication. (sophistHICKation)

I did get my 4 corner posts set in concrete today for my deer fence on the first garden. Had a bunch of 2x6's that were left out and got weathered, so I doubled those up into 4x6's, trimmed them off at 10'. Any deer that gets in there is either a bruiser, or sausage. There are elk in the area, so it should hold up to them as well. I'll set the posts for the entry door supports tomorrow, and then dig in a few posts for intermediate fence supports. Actually measured the two garden plots, 25'x35' each. 1,700 SF should suffice for now. Looks like I overestimated the other day.

Out of pocket costs right now was just $25 for 10 60# bags of concrete, $6 for onion seeds, and gas for the rototiller. Mom & Dad are getting me a gift card for Territorial Seed for my B-day tomorrow. Dad's B-day is Tuesday, and he asked for some really good bacon, the man's 76 years old, so I got him 4 pounds of the "good stuff".

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

We grow, and eat, a lot of spinach. It grows very fast and is super easy. Last summer I planted some on my deck and the wife really liked the ease of picking it. Late in the fall I planted some just to see what would happen. Well, we are now getting spinach. Not much. It's so cold still it grows quite slowly, but we are beginning to get a few leaves for a salad.

Tip for you new gardeners; you can plant spinach in late April, but plant just a couple of feet, then replant every few weeks. That way you can have nice fresh spinach all summer.

I do succession plantings of beans - three, corn - three, lettuce and spinach- 4 or 5, carrots two, and cucumbers 2.

If you plant in late spring, you can expect picking sized leaves within 40 days.

Thanks for the B-day wishes. Passed that on to my Dad as well. He enjoyed the 4lbs of great bacon I gave him. Busy day today, as I dug in teh remainder of the posts for my deer fence. This getting old thing is getting old fast.



4"x6" posts dug in 24" and set in concrete. They should hold.

The plot to the left behind the soon to be fenced in area is where I'll plant the deer food garden. It is a Brazillian Brascia, so it is kind of like a kale/clover/broc type plant. The deer are supposed to love it.

Good looking Popeye food Dave. My love planted some winter hardy stuff in pots this past August as an experiment. We've had fresh beets, kale, salad greens and chard over this winter. May have to get more organized about winter greens now that we know they can make it through a cold snap or two....

A heated ground blind with fridge? I love it when a well conceived plan comes together. Hope it bears much fruit of the protein kind....

Bees are a great thing to have by the gardens. My GF and I started 2 hives last year, and in the fall the little ladies provided us with almost 5 gallons of the best tasting honey I have ever tasted. And I have tasted a lot of diff. honey.

This year we hope to add 2-3 hives.

With the hives around we get great pollination in the garden.

LOL. My dad keeps his hives around my place so maybe I will get good pollination, of course I won't know the difference between good and bad pollination so I have no frame of reference.

I have three young Peach trees , 3 year old they have been producing for 2 seasons.

Other trees, 10 cherry trees 4 apple trees.

I have been trying to garden with the curtains up 100+ firs on the South and West side of my lot. They are coming down, as soon as it dries out enough.

This year I was sent some mushroom plugs from Puget Sound Exotic Mushrooms going to try out home growing some Pearl Oyster and Shitake shrooms.

For info you can check out http://www.fungi.com/ I have the plug spawn

Pathway to the garden rocked, and added a door. Might need to get that fence up.
