I am absolutely garden crazy! I love growin things and bein able to say I provided this for my family. I am obsessed with the whole proccess!
I planned my garden for this year while waitin for last years to sprout!
I then began readin and studyin and decided to change a bunch of stuff in the plans.
Then I decided to go all heirloom, so the plans changed agian.
Then my family decided they wanted to start tryin new veges and foods and recipes. After a lot of tastin and tryin, they started askin if I could grow this and that for them in the garden. Well, the plans changed agian!
I just sat down today and after alot of double checkin and runnin the math on the ground space available, I had to go to my Hubby and ask for a bigger garden. That led to a discussion and his review of the plans. Then he offered a smaller addition than I had asked for and some extra raised beds. So, the plans changed agian!
Now I'm obsessin over the raised beds. I was told that I could have more for strawberries and blueberries if I'll put in a rather large one for asparagus for my Hubby. I also want an orchard, so plannin is important.
I think I'll have enough from the garden for cannin and fresh storage dependin on how much the outside family tries to hit me up for.
I got a little snippy last year about bein used as a free grocery store. The weather killed out so much of our garden last year and everyone just expected me to supply them with what was killed in theirs! I have no problem helpin out some of the family since they are physically unable to grow for themselves, but some of the people were able to grow and/or buy their own but just didn't want to. They prefered to call me and then wanted me to deliver!
I have already announced that since it takes me weeks to plant my garden, and I have to pay for the water and gas for my tiller, I will be chargin for my veges. I will have a roadside stand that everyone is welcome to buy from, but I don't deliver! I have assured the few family that I don't mind helpin that they will remain on my usual list for food, but that the others are out.
My gardens are my oasis. They heal me and feed my family. They give me a sense of accomplishment and make me feel like I'm contributin to the family. I insist that there be no stress or frustration involved in my little personal paradise. I will go and weed with a vengence any time someone upsets me. I will walk the rows and 'pet' each plant in the mornin with my first cup of coffee before the girls wake up. I will count each green tomato and tiny cucumber everyday while the baby takes her nap. I walk out to the garden probably 5 times a day, includin the trip to drag my Hubby out there to point out whatever just came up that day.
I actually keep notebooks to write down what sprouted or how much something grew each day. I have several 3 ring binders for this year. I will be trackin what grows in the greenhouse and how long it takes to sprout, what grows in the garden and how long it takes to set on fruit, and how much produce is collected and which variety it was. I want to be able to calculate how much we 'earn' by eatin from our garden.
My Hubby built me a small greenhouse to use in our livin room last year. I started alot of our own plants and they grew really well. I am gonna try really hard to start all of my own plants this year. I already have it up in the livin room and have begun gettin the trays and pots ready. I'm gonna try growin some lettuce and carrots in it while I wait for time to start my garden plants. My family are big salad eaters, but they only want loose leaf lettuce, which is quite expensive. So growin it year round is my goal, but life got in the way this winter. I will be better prepared next winter.
I am in the proccess of learnin how to better store my produce so I can keep the whole 'garden' feel in our meals year round. I have gotten a good grip on the cold room method for dry items. My potatoes, onions, and squash have kept nicely for months now. We are gettin really low though, so I need to work out more space to fit the double rows of them I have planned this year. I have also learned a little more about cannin and will be takin a master canning course to fill in all the blanks. I already took the master gardening course a few years ago. I wish I could find a course on root cellars!
I get teased alot from my family and my Hubby about my obsession, but they all enjoy the results of it. I actually have some neighbors that pay me to grow certian things for them and I have family who wants to know when the outside greenhouse goes in so they can buy plants from me. I really enjoy my plannin and workin and growin so much I have begged family into babysittin for me to get more time in my garden.
I'm obsessed I tell ya! Obsessed!
I was just wonderin if there is anyone else out there who feels like I do.
Is anyone else 'Garden Crazy'?

Me, too! Me, too!!
I'm pretty limited in space due to a smallish yard and two very active homeschooled kids and their beagle... but I take the "maximum allowed" space at a local community garden (16x16) and grow there too. At home I have my original back fence garden, a new (09) bed in the front side yard, a narrow strip between the driveway/house, and I plant veggies and herbs in amongst my rose/perennial bed in the very front. Also this year my DH built me an 8x16 greenhouse which is doing great with carrots, kale, swiss chard etc right now...
Yesterday I spent a few happy hours working on my 2011 Garden Spreadsheet, counting up seed packets from last year to see what I'll need for this year... and then going through seed catalogues to decide WHAT I'm ordering from WHO, and starting to fill out order forms. I figure if I stagger the orders out a bit, it won't be so painful (grin).
Like you, I'm going to try to sell some seedlings from my greenhouse - people are realizing more and more how important it is to grow organic, and heirlooms are critically important - so *most* of what I plant will be organic/heirloom.
I've also thought about doing a "subscription" as I mentioned on another topic - having people sign up for regular supplies of whatever is in season that week, including veggies/herbs/flowers too perhaps? Maybe even a loaf of sourdough herb bread too?? Obviously it would be on a SMALL scale, but, psychologically I would benefit from being able to point out to DH that there is some income from it all, not just "us" being able to eat healthy!!!
I love - love - love tromping out to the greenhouse with snow everywhere and icicles hanging, and entering a snug domain with happy plants growing beneath floating row covers, and the little electric heater keeping the heat coming up from underneath... I take my elderly cat out there in my arms and she and I play in the dirt for awhile. So good for the soul!!!
My mom is much more relaxed with her gardens (which are always gorgeous) and I don't think keeps any records at all... she doesn't seem to need to! On the other hand I can't keep track, I forget which varieties did well, or don't do at all... plus in my former life before kids, I was a Telecom Manager for 17 years and kept track of EVERYTHING, so it soothes some part of my soul to look back over Results!! Combining the left and right brain hemispheres maybe??? grin
I do canning also - although I'm no expert - put up around 250 jars a year. This year I want to have lots more salsa and spaghetti sauce!! I found a wonderful "crockpot ratatouille" recipe that made me swoon this year, and I'd love to figure out how to pressure-can it safely. I'm thinking I might make some up, and test the acidity with my garden soil-acidity tool???? Is that nuts??
So - I'm with you!! Go Garden Crazy, it's good for the soil! I mean the soul!!!! grin

I understand the way you feel. For me, gardening is like breathing. Some years are better than others, but I always have a garden and judge how successful my year was by how good my garden was. I can't wait for spring thaw!

Seeds of Change and Territorial Seeds are my favs for heirloom and organic!!
I'm going to try to start some "greenhouse" tomatoes and cucumbers too, has anyone else done that? Special varieties that are made for that environment??

I use Seed Savers and Baker Creek. I will be orderin from someone else for my strawberries and blueberries, but I haven't found the right company foor it just yet. I'm a little picky about who I order from and all since the whole Monsanto thing started. I may have to bite the bullet and just order from whatever company is cheapest.
I forgot about the community garden! I found one close to me last year and grew a 10x10 spot there last year. I have asked for a 20x20 this year but am waitin to hear about it. I like growin easy to care for stuff like cabbages and corn and potatoes there. They have very sandy soil and the cantaloupes that the garden master grew went just nutty there last year. I may try my cantaloupes there this year as well.
I am gonna be headed to the store today to try to get some pottin soil to get my inside greenhouse goin today. I can't wait! I want to get my hands dirty so bad!

I love gardening too - I've actually kicked the kids out of my garden when they were complaining or bringing negative energy into it. The last two or three years have not been successful though, garden-wise. I've gotten derailed for various reasons - I'm dealing with a garden space that was pasture, then let go to weeds so there are lots of thistles and bindweed - I'm gradually gaining on them but we rototilled a couple of years and got a whole new crop of weeds. Underneath it all is prairie grass with roots 18" long - so it's been a constant struggle. I do have 8 permanent beds started, with mulch in between and am planning to at least double that this year - I have about 1/4 acre to work with. I want to start seeds again this year - two years ago I did that and it was very successful. I'm doing all heirloom too - I've had really good results with Baker Creek, Seed Savers and Botanical Interests - oh, also John Scheeper's. So here I sit in 14 degree weather thinking of spring:D

Angela,
I loved reading your post and totally understand. We are part of a township garden club and wish you were nearby to share your excitement.
We figured out our seed list on January 30th, and finished our list so I could order on-line New Years Eve. We're making some changes, moving blueberries and a few grapes to new beds we set up this fall so we have more garden space closer to the house. We have a big garden plan on taped-together graph paper and even will have some space we haven't plans for yet.
We planned on setting up a cold room in the basement, got the framework done and plan to insulate it to keep it cooler but the potatoes and squash are doing great there right now. We'll continue with canning more, I'm stocking up on more pint jars since there are only two of us at home now.
We actually started a notebook too, cutting out pictures and descriptions for the 4 tomatoes and 6 peppers we will be using with space to write our conclusions.
We started a garden journal 2 years ago and its been a great help in planning. Each year includes an END-OF-SEASON report and wish list for the next years planning.
We had a mess with trying to start seeds last year, starting them all in one tray marked on the end of each row with little popsicle sticks. I set them out side on a stump to start getting used to the outside conditions and our romping puppies knocked them off, most dies with their roots exposed and the others were a mystery. We need to do better on that!
Best wishes to all our gardening farmgirl sisters!
Susan

I think I will include cut out photos from my old catalogs and actual photos from my own garden so I can compare what it looks like to what it's supposed to look like. I keep a lot of my old catalogs around for price reference and some companies change up what they offer from year to year a good bit. This way I can track down a variety that was not listed if I was wantin to try it. I have found that callin Seed Savers they sometimes still have it but just not in large enough amounts to offer in the catalog. They leave it out, but members can still get it if you have the product number so they can look it up for you.
I'm thinkin of startin a book for varieties we tried and want to try so I can track whether we liked it or not. I remember tryin several kinds of tomatoes but don't remember why we're not growin them anymore. I'm sure that the yellow one we tried we couldn't find the next year, but now I don't remember the name of it.
I guess I'm gonna need a lot of notebooks!

Re: garden journals - I love these... I wish I'd done them all my life! Especially as much as I've moved around... although that (moving) shouldn't happen many more times if ever now. I hope!! They are such a good idea, especially with PHOTOS!
One thing I did last year in my 3-ring binder Garden Plan book, was to cut out the photos/descriptions and any growing instructions from the seed catalogues and pasting them to their own page, for varieties I purchased that way. SO helpful!

I was lookin at a catalog this afternoon with my 2y/o on my lap. She suddenly pointed at a picture of a lettuce patch and said 'Daddy's salad! I get the bowl!' and ran off to the kitchen. After I got her calmed down with her own salad I told her the book only sold us the seeds to grow the stuff. She announced she was growin salad and grabbed some lettuce and put it in a pot in my greenhouse!
I'm gonna fill the pot with soil and plant her favorite red leaf lettuce after she goes to sleep. Maybe if I grow enough her Daddy will actually get to have a salad for himself without her stealin half of it away from him!
I guess I've passed on the gardenin crazies to my youngest! She's Momma's girl!

Angela - that's too funny! My kids (ages 3-girl and almost 5-boy) are garden nuts too. I brought in some kale, swiss chard and a little twee carrot for each of us from the greenhouse for our salad the other day, and they have been pestering the dog out of me to let them go get more carrots. Leave my carrots alone, go get some potato chips you little veggie-mongers!!!
Of course I'm kidding on the potato chips...

Hi Angela and everyone else,
I find myself for the first time in years in a different situation for gardening. I will be limited to only a container garden on the patio that gets little or no full sun. Although I live in a zone that you can usually GROW alot here in southern California, I have never been limited to the shade only and in med and small containers only. Of course I will still have my salad garden, and herb that will make it in the shade, but I will miss tomatoes, squash and peppers that need the sun.
Anyone have experience growing vegetables in the shade that can share you ideas and thoughts is greatly appreciated. |

Can you join a Community Garden, or start one locally?? The one we're a member of is at a church with an extra-big lot here in town... while we're not members of that church, they decided to do a community garden as a type of outreach program. It's pretty neat!! And gives us alot more room to "grow" as my yard is mostly taken up with kids and beagle!

Bren... I found a community garden from a flyer at the local extension office. It's at a church that got a farmer next door to donate a few acres from his field. You might check at health food stores as well. Sometimes they have community bulletin boards.
I don't think I'm gonna need my plot there this year. My DH offered tonight to give me almost 2 times the room for my garden this year! He's also got plans for 5 more raised beds so long as I grow him an asparagus bed. That he has planned as a 4x10 foot bed. The other beds will be 4x6 for strawberries and herbs. I was already promised 2 more 4x4 beds for blueberry bushes. We will be doin 2 a year for a total of 4 years. That will provide enough berries for jam and pie!
I have compiled my list of wild tree locations and my sweet Hubby has promised to help my dig 3 of each kind for puttin around the fence line! I will have so much goin on I won't know what to do! Just a few years ago I was growin 2 tomato plants in 5 gallon buckets and 3 potato plants in a half barrel planter. I was so unhappy with nowhere to plant and grow. Now I have 5000 sq. ft. that will be expandin, 7 raised beds once DH is done, a rasberry patch, a plum tree, 4 blueberry bushes this spring, and about 5 other kinds of fruit trees comin!
I'm nearly in heaven!
Oh Yeah! I can't forget the real outdoor greenhouse and root cellar I will be puttin in this summer!
Yeah!

Bren -
Well fiddle, we'll just have to pray you into that community garden plot!! Maybe they will decide to expand it?!
Here's another idea - do you have any friends locally with unused yard space? Perhaps you could offer to do a co-op with them... either "rent" it from them for some veggies, or share the work/cost/harvest...
Empty lots??
OK but if you can't find any other options, here's some ideas for partial-shade gardening:
1.Salad Greens, such as leaf lettuce, arugula, endive, and cress.
2.Broccoli
3.Cauliflower
4.Peas
5.Beets
6.Brussels Sprouts
7.Radishes
8.Swiss Chard
9.Leafy Greens, such as collards, mustard greens, spinach, and kale
10.Beans
11. herbs such as basil, chervil, chives, coriander, mints, parsley, sage and sorrel do ok in part shade
12. cabbage
13. kale (oh I said that already. I LOVE KALE!)
Here's a good publication about container gardening: http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/publications/guides/E-545_vegetable_gardening_containers.pdf
Hope this gives you some ideas!!

Thanks TJ! I am sure I will find enough things to fill the very few pots/containers I can fit on my back porch with many of the vegetables you have mentioned. I have not found anyone in this area that would be willing to let me use their yard...lol... they dont want to give up their manicured landscaping..lol.
I will post pics of my garden on the patio as soon as it gets going. |

I envy you girls who have greenhouses. My son built me one about 20 years ago. Loved it. Grew lots of seedlings. One year the electricity went off and I lost the whole greenhouse full of stuff. Then we got a propane heater. It cost more to heat the greenhouse for 2 1/2 to 3 months than it did to heat the whole house all winter. Seemed every year we had to replace the roof or plastic walls. Went from rolled plastic to solid plastic, some glass. Then the wood rotted and was falling down. Then I bought a greenhouse kit and hired a guy to build it. A month later it blew away. We got it put back together and it blew away again. My insurance company paid me a whopping $350. I never got it fixed. Been trying to get someone, anyone to take down the frame. I hate to pay someone to take it down. Cost a fortune to put it up. Sooooooooo the other day I ordered a 3 tier grow light stand. It has like 20 sq ft of surface. I am going to put it in the kitchen. It should be large enough for my tomatoes and peppers and maybe a few other thing.
Yes, I too am garden crazy. Every year for Christmas, birthday and Mother's day, I always get garden stuff. Love telling everyone that my daughter gave me dirt for my b'day.
I started gardening 61 years ago. When I was 10 years old and in 4-H, Sears had a garden program and gave us all the seeds and plants. Then the gardens were judged on appearance around the 4th of July. My garden won a blue ribbon. I have always been picky about what my garden looked like. I have for the last 60 years entered gardening and canning in the county fair. I usually do quite well but I think that is because I learned how to "judge" while I was in 4-H.
COME ON SPRING!!!

Bren - those Earth Box things are supposed to be the livin' bomb. They seem kinda expensive but I've got friends who have them and they rave about them. Looking forward to your photos!!
Belle - that stinks about your greenhouse(s)!! Sheesh!! I'm blessed to have mine in a small backyard that gives it alot of wind shelter. Well, I'm blessed to have one at all, I still can't believe it!!! But your comment about getting dirt from your daughter made me laugh; living in Montana I like to take advantage of the wildness, and fertilize with moose, elk, mountain goat poo... of course that means hauling it home from the mountains, but even our kids know to keep an eye on the ground when we're hiking! A few years ago on our way to see my Grandma for Mother's Day down in southern Arizona, we stopped on the outskirts of Yellowstone National Park and found some dried buffalo chips, and had bags in the car, so hauled down buffalo chips for my Grandma's garden! She is still braggin' on the fact that we brought her buffalo poo for Mother's Day. grin...

I got my membership card today for seed savers! I am so excited! I will be gettin the special books for members startin with the one in february. It's the first one of the year. I will be able to get my winter greenhouse seed discounted as well as my huge order I just sent in will be discounted. I feel like I'm startin to do my part for heirloom heritage. I love that the memberships go to support the seed vault!
I can't wait for my order to come in! I got my bakers creek order today and I read all the packets and sorterd them into my little organizer boxes. I got a free lettuce from them and seed savers for orderin, so that was a little excitin.
I am so dreamin of spring!!!!
