You know you have it bad....
« on: June 08, 2012, 03:16:02 PM »
When you draw out your garden plans for NEXT YEAR.....what the heck!  Usually I do that in Jan-Feb.  I guess I need my garden to grow faster to keep me more occupied.

I'd have to tear down my garage to get a bigger garden... I even have 8 grow boxes on the blasted basket ball court.

Well, I guess you'll just have to start tiering up then, and plant on top of the garage as well, and on top of the house also of course. Farm like a Chinaman. Good luck, ear

Get yourself some plastic guttering and attach it in horizontal rows to your garage on its south side.  Put small plants like lettuce, raddish, spinach, and peppers in these.  Only downside is they have to be watered every day.  Rain doesn't help much.  Put a few drain holes in each gutter.
 
My wife grows lots of early plants in ours and then harvests or transplants them to our raised bed spaces.  Our spring romain crop was outstanding in the gutter planters.  Mine are actually too shady for best results.

Don't feel too bad.  I've been going over plant varieties and changes to the layout for the past month.  Now that everything is up and going this season, I can already see what I like and don't like about how I did things.  Just gotta remember to take some notes so I know how I wanna do it next spring...

I've been watching how things are growing, predicting yields, and considering what to do for soil amendments this fall, what I want to plant where, and what plants I want to save seed from.  I am actually looking not only at next year, but three to five years down the road.
