I'm not sure if this is complete or not but I think it is close. This is a list of the seeds or plants that I have on hand this spring for planting or have already started plants inside of ...for my 2014 garden. I'm sure I'll buy more, I always do.
Last 3 years we have had severe droughts here in Michigan so I am changing the way I'm doing things a lot this year, starting more things inside rather than outside, cause it is so hard to keep the seedbeds wet here as they are so scatterred and so far away from the house (that happens when you do food forest gardens, they are everywhere)...also going to do a few things in containers on the deck where I can reach them to keep them watered regularly..(just my luck we'll have a wet summer).
Although I didn't write it down, most of the herbs and some other plants have already been started inside, and one of my trees ( a replacement of one that was damaged in shipment last year) has already arrived and is in a bucket on my back porch.
I have also decided (if you read my last post) to NOT use the glass sliding doors and windows that I have salvaged from my sisters as a entry enclosure on my laundry deck entry..but I'm going to use them off my garage to make a second greenhouse..so it will be about 6x12 with about a 4x8 raised bed inside and a path around it, also there can be containers on the path and hanging containers from the roof there.

This is a very long list of things to plant & it looks like itisgoing to be a lot of work. It is really to bad that a lot of the things we plant for our gardens are not perennials. It would sure save a lot of work each year. Especially in the springtime when there is so much more that needs done. I have a few questions for you reguarding your list.
ReplyDelete#1.} Do you have any of your cosmos seeds left over? I would love to have some light brights for my fence by my birdfeeders.
#2.} Do you have any holly hocks. I want to plant some of those along my fountain garden. I have only 1 now & it is red.
#3.} Flowering crabapple trees.How tall do yours get? Are they the standard tree or the Dwarf?
#4.} Have you planted the Lemon Balm before? I planted it last year & the year before & it comes back each year thicker & nicer.I was told it would not come back but mine did. I am hearing a lot of people saying they lost their herb gardens last year because of the hard winter.I hope my herb garden will come back this year.
#5.} Burpee has a new tomato out this year that I am planning to try & I thought maybe you would like to know about it as well. It is the Steakhouse Hybrid. it is over 3 lbs. each. It takes only 75-80 days to grow.
#6.} Have you ever heard of or used something called "Plant Skydd"? It is
suppose to keep deer & rabbits away from your plants, trees & gardens. A friend told me about it & I was wondering if you may have used it before.
Will be waiting for your reply. Talk to you later. Debbie
Debbie, I do have some cosmos seeds I saved from myu plants last year, meail me your address and I'lll send you some to grothbrenda@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI do have hollyhocks but they have been petering out, if they come up this year I'll give you some seeds if you want them, have had all colors.
I have a pole crabapple that has really large ones, these ones coming are just the kinds you plant for birds to eat, going to put them by the field..they aren't dwarf.
I have planted lemon balm before..what happened this year is I found an ad for a herb catalog and for $20 you got 50 packets of herb seeds (no choice) also 4 packets coming I haven't any idea what and some garlic and shallots but those haven't arrived..a lot of them are perennials
I have about 95 % perennials in my property, I don't like replanting things IF I don't have to, and I do save seed from a lot of plants when I can, but last years droughts have screwed that.
I have way too many kinds of tomatoes to grow this year so I don't really think I want any big ones, those are too big for my desires, prefer smaller ones.
not aware of Plant skydd but I don't use any chemicals on my property, I put chicken wire around the trees that are valuable to me..thanks for your reply
Metsa raie on viimastel aastatel metsaomanike poolt üha enam tähelepanu pälvinud, kuna hakkpuidu tootjate ja tarbijate arv kasvab. Metsa ABC müüb hakkpuitu otse hakkpuidu tootjatele, mis võib olla oodatust tasuvam, kuna ainsana maksavad hakkpuidutootjad reaalset turuhinda.
