SkunkedAgain 2022 & 2023 Garden & GH

[SkunkedAgain]

Attempt number 3, man I hate trying to make a post on the forum since the change. This was a fair post but since odds are it will vanish as well just adding pics and I’ll try to edit after. 



This is my cattle panel GH, that I built last fall / early winter as the snow was starting to fall... It kept the soil bare all winter, so in February / March I started planting stuff that I thought would stand the still freezing night time temps... It was really slow to germinate, but now first of June, it's starting to look better... Things are changing so much everyday that these pics are old news in a couple days. 







This is my early ground to dry, so I planted it in March and tried the 30" market garden planting plots... I think the 5 rows in 30" is a little too tight for some crops like the turnips that are crowding out the rest of the stuff..







This is the pepper/tomato area we just finished yester day, added some cucumbers after the photo..



Weedy poor germinating potatos with cattle panel GH in the rear.



This is the area for the market garden, where I've planted lots and had poor germination, except for weeds... Just getting started on the Pumpkin/Squash area on the north end... Hope the later planted stuff with do better than the early has..



Last photo is old, but shows the ground stakes for the high tunnel that will hopefully have the trusses in place before too much longer... Got all but 3 completed now, but haven't had time to work it lately with all the other crop planting going on...

I guess the background that got lost to this post is my daughter is really into gardening, and so her and my wife decided to start selling produce at the Logan, farmers market.  Well we have always grown a garden and farmed, but this is a whole new scale of things for us.  I'm sure we'll learn lots of good lessons this year... Hope we can figure out how to grow what is wanted by the market and do it without as many failures as I've had so far this spring...  From what I've seen in the cattle panel GH, I think the high tunnel will really help our results for next year...  BTW, the cattle panel greenhouse was a result of my redneck tendencies and using what was just laying around the farm... That and the wind storms really tore things apart this spring, so it will need a south wall reconstruction before winter... but it still really helped advance the onions and carrots this year.  Later J
