What's everyone growing this year? I haven't had a garden at all in a few years and am just getting back into it. I threw together a seed starting setup out of leftover 2x4's and plywood from our remodel.
Going to be growing corn, bell peppers, banana peppers, cayenne, jalapenos, tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce, onions, green beans and cucumbers.
Pics once I get a chance, planning starting all the stuff that needs to be started indoors tomorrow night.

Lettuce, cabbage, and sugar snap peas are already in the ground. Fighting a battle with slugs over the cabbage, but I think we will prevail. Radishes, carrots, pole beans, tomatoes, and various greens to be planted soon. Still haven't decided on trying peppers again this year, we have not had great luck with them recently. Almost forgot, we are going to plant an asparagus bed in a few weeks. It will be a couple of years before we get a harvest, but it should produce for 10 -15 years.

Picked up a bag of fertilizer today for my SFG. Compost just hasn't been doing much for me. I had better yields when I didn't know so much.

I got the seeds started last night that I wanted to (bell peppers, cayenne, jalapenos, banana peppers, tomatoes, onions, lettuce). So now it's waiting time.

It's the 22nd of March here. With the freakishly warm weather, and several days of drizzle, I may have to mow my lawn in MARCH! I have never.....

Dang it Byrd. You ruined my fun! It's almost the 23nd here...couldn't resist :-)
On a serious note, I am getting out the tiller this weekend and at least getting the ground ready. I will have to mow this weekend too. First time for us also in March.
I guess it wouldn't hurt to get a jump on things by planting some seeds in the garden. I can always start over if they sprout and get zapped by a cold snap.

Got quite a few trays sprouting already. Looking forward to getting to transplant them out into the garden.
