I've started my peppers and tomatoes from seed in 6" pots this year Plan is to grow them indoors as long as possible and hopefully get in some good harvests prior to the 100+F of summer.

I planted potatoes, onions, and brocolli this last weekend. First time I've tried Potatoes. Last year was my first garden and the onions were a fail, and the brocolli was probably out to late so it wasn't great. Most of my tomato and pepper seeds are have come up inside. Plants are between 1 and 2 inches. I use the Jiffy indoor greenhouse I got a Lowes, which I had good luck with last year.
I'm sure I'm gonna learn alot more this year (like not fertilizing to much like I did last year).

They seem to do better and I don't have the hassle of hoeing between 100-300 individual onions in rows . Taters do well if you "hill" them . Plant them in rich soil and keep piling the dirt up around the plant stems as they grow . This encourages the plant to put out more roots . The more roots you get , the more tubers ( potatoes ) .

Thanks for the advice on the potatoes. I'll do that when (or if) they come up.

I put some Red/new seed tators in the ground yesterday a neighbor brought over for the heck of it. They went into a compost area, where we throw old veggies, coffee grounds, egg shells and what not into.
Probably too early, but we'll see if they sprout and make.

Spring gardening seems like it just keeps getting further away.

For you gardeners, I have some good compost going that you are welcome to if you want to drive to Grandview to pick it up. It has grass clippings, leaves, horse manure and ashes all mixed in and turned about once a month. Just have more than I need. I can load with a tractor. PM me if interested.

Nice offer there Steve. If you were a little closer, I'd take you up on that.

It has begun  My problem is the GRASS. It comes in thick and eventually takes over. I sprayed vinegar last year. It helped but not much. Thoughts on how to keep the grass out? Right now its down to dirt and grass roots. before  after

Add some orange oil to your vinegar. And spray the grass the hottest part of the day.

I am such a loser. I haven't even broken ground this year. AND I did not plow last fall either. It is just so dry that I have kind of lost interest. Watering every day last year was such a beating. I can't wait until mother nature smiles down on us again and provides some consistent non drought rainfall.

Is that the chicken pen to the right ? I'd put the chickens in the garden and plant the garden in the chicken pen . Rotate every couple of years .
