Garden Thread 2024

Post by Blast »

The garden is expanding, i ordered 8 - 4 x 8 raised beds, built 6 half barrel planters, tilled a 10 x 20 foot area next to the barn, ordered 4 new frontenac grape vines, have over 100 peppers, tomatoes, Brussel sprout, a broccoli plants started, planted 10 more strawberry roots, 5 rhubarb roots, placed 4 new blueberry bushes, and I've spread 8 yards of mulch. I need to get 9 yards of garden soil. My gf started a perenial garden along my driveway where there is now asparagus, primerose, bleeding heart, lupine, and some plant named Dale. I also planted 2 new apple trees. Next year I'm going to try and kill
All my grass and plant creeping thyme so i never have to mow again.

How long before the blueberry bushes begin to produce?

Awesome, nothing beats the taste of fresh garden grown stuff. How do you plan on keeping the rabbits out?

I meant how many years. Do newly planted bushes produce fruit? I've always thought the plants needed to mature first

If you plant a new black berry (not blue berry, i don't know anything about them) bush from a nursery that is about a foot tall or less, it will have fruit the first year. Maybe 20 berries or so. Then the bush grows and gets bigger each year with more berries. But you get just enough the first year to wish you had planted more.

My blackberries grow and spread like crazy and I consistently have to tame them. They are actually kind of a nuisance but that week or two when the berries are perfectly ripe make it worth it to keep them around. I wish my raspberries would grow and spread as easily as the blackberries.

I tried growing a blueberry bush several years back but it didnt do well and never got past the size of a small shrub. What little fruit it produced was tasty but eventually it just died. I think they require very specific soil nutrients.

They produce right away. They do prefer more acidic soil, i had to modify my soil by adding sulfur. The bushes vary in sizes with most of mine being fairly small for now. I have 2 that are going to be larger and I may swap others out.
The rabbits are going to be shot, and everything they like to eat is going on the raised planters.

Moved 8 yards of dirt, filling 8 raised beds this weekend, planted a couple hundred bucks worth of perrenial plants, and got my first ringside plants in the ground this weekend. My back yard is looking more like a small hobby farm..

Awesome. I hope you can post pics as I'd love to see the progress. Perennials are amazing. It's great just watching them come back every year usually bigger and stronger.
Its an annual but if you plant cilantro be prepared for next year because you'll have 25 plants springing up.

I seem to kill cilantro. I have 2 raised planters I made from 55 gallon drums that I'm planting herbs in. If I get more next year it saves me on seeds but I don't they would survive the winter here.
I'll post pictures of the perennials when I get them all planted. My gf is planning on raiding her mom's flower gardens for some plants in particular. She has some rare and hard to find stuff there and what is called the x-rated bed for hostas with wild or sex themed names such as bodice ripper. I May have abondoned my idea or replacing my grass along the street with thyme in favor of Daylillies and Irises.

Daylilies are amazing. I call them the whores of the flower world because they will put out no matter what. There are some really cool varieties too other than the basic yellow you see so often but it might take some searching to find those.

The gf has one they can't quite identify that's 20 years old or so and they've got it close to one of 6 old cultivars, spider variety with pink, green, and, yellow. She ran a trial garden at a botanical garden for 10 years, she knows people and has plants and I've given her free riegn on that patch next to my driveway.
