Getting started with our 2021* garden.

[simpleman30]

Call me crazy, but I planted my first round of zucchini and straight neck squash today. Indoors of course. Ordered a half dozen different varieties of peppers last night that we'll start as soon as they arrive. Gonna do some experimenting this year by direct-planting some of the same seed that I'm starting indoors now, putting the seed and transplants in the ground at the same time.

Is it 2020 again? I sure do miss my garden.

Have some tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, beets under some lights right now. Ready to be able to get some of the spring/summer produce in the ground

It's mustard and turnips for now. I'll wait awhile before planting anything else. Rooster spur peppers are still growing from last year, for pepper sauce.

Got my pepper seeds in the mail. Hope to start them this week as soon as they arrive. Got some lettuce seeds too but may wait until fall to start them. Never planted lettuce before so I'm not sure on when to plant them.

You should have plenty of time for your lettuce to make before it gets hot enough to make it bolt. I’m experimenting with planting some in a spot that will be shaded by corn. Hoping it’ll make it long enough to eat some salads with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers To go with it.

it's about time to put the 'taters in the ground.

 

[ugajay]

I'll be putting taters in the ground as soon as it dries up enough to do so. Nothing else seems to grow until the ground warms up no matter when you plant it

 

[trad bow]

My garden has been to wet to turn over this year so far. I like to turn it once so the freeze can get to the overwintering pest.

 

[livinoutdoors]

Still got kale, collards, cabbage, carrots going. Planted snap peas but has been cold here. Taters in a week or so.

the drying up is the problem up here. When this clay get soaked, it stays soaked for weeks. There is no way to absorb more water right now, and if we don't get any more rain, it would be at least 2 or 3 weeks before I can turn the garden over

Got 30 lb of potatoes I plant on cutting Wednesday and planting Saturday. My soil drains pretty good so hopefully the coming rain doesn't affect it too much.

My mom sent me a link from The Old Farmer's Almanac website that calls for planting potatoes in my area between March 7 and 29. Fair bit later than the traditional Valentine's Day planting date.

 

[oldways]

I have planted them in March before and they got up faster and did good. its going to be too wet where I'm at to plant on the 14th so it is probably going to be March this year, heck Easter is in April I think and we usually get a cool snap around Easter every year.

I just started tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce and peppers yesterday in the basement under lights.

Potatoes and onions will be arriving in a couple of weeks and they'll go in the ground probably first week of March if it dries out enough for me to till weeds under another time or two.

My favorite time of year is when the garden is coming up and the weeds haven't taken over yet....and turkeys are gobbling!

To the OP, your peppers started indoors will way outpace anything you put in the ground at the same time. Tomatoes and peppers are two things that are 100% best started indoors.

 

[Huntinfool]

I won't start squash, Zucc and a few other things for another couple of weeks. They need the soil to be warmer when they go in the ground.

 

[The Original Rooster]

My seeds are on the way. I'm running late but I'll get them started in the basement and transfer them in mid to late March. I'm going to try to go by the dates in the Farmers Market Bulletin paper. Planning on having tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, eggplant, bell peppers, and a new variety of low glycemic potato.
