Pick 1 and Post 2

[Midnight Star]

When I had a garden, quite a bit; almost everything you can think of ... didn't do very good with celery though, but I tried.

Can the extra, or give it away?

 

[ohmdiver]

A little of both.

Rototiller

Rear tines or front tines

Can the extra and then give it away.

Frozen veggies or canned?

 

[Midnight Star]

Rear tines (Troy built) for the initial softening, then a smaller Mantis for deweeding and hilling up between the rows.

Intercrop, or intensive gardening?

Can the extra and then give it away.

Frozen veggies or canned?

I'd prefer fresh (I never knew how good fresh grown ocra and asparagus was, until I grew some myself. Store bought is flavorless or bitter, and slimey), but if I had to choose, i'd take frozen.

Name brand, or any brand will do?

 

[ohmdiver]

intercrop James Jevason style. (Sometimes)

Compost or Chems

 

[Midnight Star]

Compost (or seasoned manure) for the initial planting, then top dressed with manure for N and other micronutrients. Chems, for potash (didn't have a fireplace big enough for the ashes).

Insecticide: Homemade or commercial?

 

[ohmdiver]

Homemade, usully watered down tabasco
(Keeps the kids off too)

Veggies or veggies and berries

 

[Midnight Star]

I grew blueberries as shrubs next to my home, with two huge blackberry shrubs (I got gallons off these two ... but the variety eludes me. Once I neglected to cut back the yeilding canes and pruned during the summer cause they got way to wirey, they dwindled down), never had any good success with strawberries, grapes (couldn't get seedless ones) or raspberries (the vines just didnt thrive). I landscaped with "edibles".

Having a home garden: Try growing things you'd never ate, just to try it, or only grow things you know you'll like?

 

[ohmdiver]

What I know will get eaten.

Flowers for looks or to attract bugs away from garden?
