My 2011 Garden (updated with pics)

[catman529]

I should post a pic or two every now and then as my plants grow. Just for those of you who want to see how my garden goes throughout the season and maybe learn a thing or two from my (limited) experience. Been growing from seed around 3 years or so. Feel free to ask questions or post up your own pics in this thread.

Here is the most recent pic. Tomatoes are up....

Thanks all, it is fun to get into every spring. Sometimes I wonder if someone who doesn't know me hears about all my grow lights in my 3rd story room, or sees the glowing lights from the back window, they might suspect I am growing something of a different nature... But it's all legal stuff for the record!

Good looking seedlings. You're at least a couple of weeks ahead of me. Looks like they're almost ready to go in the ground.

 

[catman529]

Thanks, yes they could go in the ground at this stage but they should be fine until late april when I will put them in.

They be hardening off now...

Almost ready, another few days of adjusting to full sunlight, and then I can split them up... thinking 24-30 plants for myself, 30 for the community garden I am involved in, and the few extras for a friend or two who want some plants. Only have a few of each of peppers, broccoli and eggplant so I might keep those all for myself.

Also got to get seeds in the ground soon. I don't even have a sketched layout like I did last year, so I guess I will just set up rows and plant in a "this looks good" sort of way and hope I can fit everything in nicely.

Oh crap... and then the summer-long battle with the weeds. I hope I can keep up better this year than last year. Some of that woven weed fabric would help a lot.
