Put my hanging tomato in the garage for the night.

Should I just leave it in the garage til the cold weather is gone. (Looks like Tuesday) or put it back outside every morning?

All covered up

Cow_doc, mine are all inside...a few days without real sunlight won't hurt.

This Agave pup took some work to remove and get into a pot


The garden boss kept a eye out all weekend


Spent all day Sunday getting everything ready for the blueberries, that raised bed has a yard of decomposed granite to help with drainage.

Thats awesome man

Nice work Damon. How many chickens do you have now and how many eggs do you get per week?

We now have 12 1/2, we have 1 that is always getting out and playing games with our dog.....she lost Sunday morning when I was in the garage and is now in rehab! Average is 6-9 eggs a day.

I covered the tomatoes up with buckets and blankets(thinking about leaving them covered until Wednesday)

Thank y'all

I'm gonna have to post up some pictures of my new gardens. We're doing things differently this year & learning as we go. My wife & I both have been gardening for a long time but this year we have been going to classes learning "Heritage Gardening" aka "Companion Gardening". This is the way our (my) Native American ancestors grew their food until about 1900. It's designed to get maximum yield out of a small garden space with healthy tasty veggies. I call it organic hippie gardening, we'll see. My tomato garden has been in the ground for a few weeks already & doing good. My peppers are in the ground too. I'm gonna plant my sweet corn, snap beans, butternut squash, straight neck yellow squash, zucchini, okra, watermelons, & cantelopes today hopefully. I've been watching this thread for a while, figured I'd join in on the fun. I love gardening!

Nice setup Adv looks great.

What's up Skinner

Hey Payne! Just doing a little gardening here LOL. I see your garden is looking good!

Thanks

Where are you taking classes? I go to the master gardener ones in Victoria.

Been going to classes here in Rockport, at a feed store called "Moore Than Feed". There's a local guy who owns an all organic farm here that has been giving the classes. He sells his produce & chicken/pork to local health food stores. This guy specializes in growing productive gardens here in our SAND using old school methods (pre-commercialized farming). The tomato class was a few weeks ago & went to his corn/beans/squash class Saturday. I've learned quite a bit so far.

A rose I propagated last year.



Lost the squash to the wind, just need to make it through the morning. 34 degrees with a 15mph wind forecast.

I dodged a bullet last night. I'm leaving my sprinkler on for my full garden tonight. There's no way I can cover mt potatoes;

Ive been sick all weekend and only got out yesterday and covered a few things. SO, lost all my tomatoe plants and okra last night. All potatoe plants killed as well. Thee potatoes SHOULD grow back. I knew I put our okra out too early but did it last year and got by but wasnt as lucky this year.

SO, will be replanting as soon as Im over this crud.

Question for the experts.

Is it too late to set out broccoli? I've never grown it. And, right now I can't find any plants to buy so it may be a moot point.

Sweet coop AdvTx!

Between the crazy wind and the last two nights temps I have lost everything but strawberries. Luckily I planted twice as much as I need in my garage, so I am just going to wait a few weeks and try again

oh well

I think we dodged the bullet here in the metromess. It only got down to 35 on my thermometer.

Dang man, that sucks. Good thing you had a backup plan.

thats what I get for listening to the weather man. its cool I still have more than enough. I knew I was pushing my luck

28 At Cedar Creek this morning. Everything looked good yesterday after my wife pulled the buckets at lunch, now if I made it through last night, I should be good to go.

these are what I have left plus I will be direct sowing quite a bit

East, even with you losing everything, you still have a crapload.

Gotta be prepared for the worst

Plus I was going to give some away but wont be able to now
