This on is 8'x4' and will have cucumbers growing near the fencing I used to grow and vine upwards and the other end will be my herbs. Next week we will fill it the dirt. here in Wyoming I wait until May to plant.

Wow, nice setup Mack!

Some good looking setups Im seeing on here for this season! :-)

Planting eight apple trees out back this weekend. Digging holes in this area is some back braking work. If these rocks were gold, I'd be outa here.

I have spouts for everything but Jalapenos, Reapers and Bell Peppers. It must be a pepper thing. I put them on a heat mat to raise the soil temp to 85* (ish).

Hopefully my seedlings have started by the time I get home from my work trip. I did my plants from seed for the first time last year, using a seed mat. Works great.

I forgot though to start my chiltepin pepper plants. Need to get an earlier start than last year. Didn't get squadoosh from them before the first frost.

Checked my seedlings today. 6 days after planting and I already need to transplant my radish, kale, lettuce and a couple others.

Coming along nicely....

I bought a mat for the peppers. They seems to favor a very warm soil. Everything else did fine with solid 70*-75*

Ok Gardeners I have a question. Do I go with a drip system, soaker hose or do a combo thing? This will be for my raised beds. Lets hear your thoughts what worked what didn't? I will be doing normal garden plants tomato, squash water melon cantaloupe carrot radish and onion but I also want to do herbs
Thanks Mack

I brought my 5 fig trees up out of the basement

Just a few more weeks and I can start playing in the dirt.
That might be a little ambitious, but I hope it dries out well enough to at least prepare my side garden and get in some cold crops.

Spent the day filling my garden box with dirt and then finally getting some plants in. Man my butt is whooped! See all the trips up and down the hill!

Looking good, Hal!!! :-)
I live on a cliff just like you.

I have some daffodils and crocuses coming up in the side garden, forgot all about them. I need to go dig up more and put them in, I know where there's a few huge patches.

I need to fertilize the grass and it's almost time to get the sprinklers fired up, make dirt for the garden, and all that good stuff.
Still a few more weeks till things will dry up enough to get at them.

Transplanted a few radish seedlings in one of my planting beds. Let's see if they can stand the cold weather. Seed book suggests not starting indoors, oops.
[Reply]

Looks like most of the trees and shrubs I planted last year made it. Lots of buds and leaves popping out.
[Reply]

How are they coming boys? I'm building another (2) 10X4 beds whenever this rain stops. All my seedlings are coming along. Probably go to ground May2.
[Reply]

Finally got them full 2 yards each top soil and a yard of compost each.

And this sounds odd but my wife, kids and myself have started a fairy garden

Nice Mack, you'll get a lot out of those beds.
