We're at the end of 2008. Info for the 09' Season close

As a whole 2008 was a rough year with a rather pitiful growing season that supported weeds more so than garden plants. The year for plants can be best summed up by short, cold, and weedy.

Due to Time constrains I repeatedly had issues with weeding. Next year this will be remedied with lots of landscaping fabric.

The most successful plants of the season were easily peas, blueberries, strawberries, onions and spuds.

On the paperwork for this year's harvest attempt:

Snap Peas

Beans

Radishes

Carrots

cauliflower

spinach

kohlrabi

Pumpkins and other squashes

 

Lettuces

3-6 different kinds of tomatoes

Shelling peas

strawberries

Blueberries

raspberries

Zucchini (aka weeds)

Potatoes

 

Onions

Cucumbers

Rhubarb

Starting Asparagus

Flowers:

Petunias

Fuchsias

Zinnias

 

Welcome to the beginning of my growing season. LOL Under a heavy blanket of snow the garden sleeps. Dec 08' June 09' finally in full swing.
Man down. This is the new semi permanent bed. It contains all the plants I really don't want to dig up every year. Strawberries were moved. Horseradish and rhubarb planted and asparagus started.
Blueberries really are doing well. I have about 10 plants that are just covered in clusters.
Asian pears. I didn't expect to get anything this year but surprise... they're doing quite well. The first squash blossom of the season. I planted zucs late so I think that's why the Paty pan beat it to the punch.
I have a spot next to my house where we usually plant tomatoes and peppers. I thought the area was getting a little exhausted so I planted sunflowers this year. The great wall of spuds. I'm shocked how well the $4 bag from walmart is doing.
