pinnah:
My fingernails are filled with soil for the first time this year.

How about a garden thread?

I would love to learn from you brewers
that spend time in the garden.

Watcha got?

euge:
I got onions (white and red), leeks and mustard greens in. My tomatoes are nearly ready to transplant into the ground.

Will triple the size of my growing area this week. Will also have 6 yards of garden soil delivered on Thursday.

Then it will be chiles and cucumbers. Might try some zucchini squash.

Cheaper to buy beans than grow them. Pics will follow.

I've been building boxes for my garden this year.   I have 3 that are made from 2X12 sides and bottoms, 3 are 2 X12 bottom with 2 X10 sides.  The have beets, spinach, radishes, green onions,and carrots planted already.  I'll do 3 more boxes for tomatoes, cukes/melons and squash.  I also have garlic, shallots, asparagus, red potatoes, and russsets planted in the ground,
The weeds are so bad out here, especially the uncontrollable bermuda grass.  I was either going to give up or go to containers of some sort to keep the grass out.
My Cascades are also up so I'll be mixing hop shoots with asparagus next weekend I hope.

bluesman:
Great timing!

I just cleared the garden of some leftover debris from the 2011 garden yesterday.
I also planted most of my seeds in a greenhouse planter last weekend. Tomatoes, cucumbers, assorted varieties of peppers, watermelon, squash, zuchini, tomatillos, etc...
I planted two rhizhomes of Centennial hops in a large planter as well. I'll eventually replant them outside when they get big enough.

My work is cutout for me this year.  ::)

for me it's much cheaper and easier to buy chiles, but I may grow a few jalapenos for pico de gallo.
I figure we have one more freeze so I'm at least a couple of weeks from planting tomatoes.  I just have the cold weather stuff planted now.
