Z's Garden

nice work!

the squash are petered out down here already, tomatoes are off and on, setting fruit still in a couple of the below normal temp patches. It's been a weird year, plenty wet enough down here.
 
Sweet!

I'm growing some Habanero's, Jalapeno's, and Adjuma peppers this year for the first time.... They are setting fruit allready!! Whoohooo...

For next season I have some Scotch bonnet seeds, habanero's and a habanero without heat ( so the girl can eat some jerk pork/chicken too :P )
 
Love growing vegetables. Right now I need to pick my sugar snap peas. Two types of those, one which hasn't produced any pods yet but the plants are 6 feet high growing off the fence. Green beans in a few weeks. Squash and Zucchini Coming. Also Parsley, Basil. Carrots. Cukes. Spinach will be late. Every year I add more raised beds.
Right now I have about 50 ft x 4 ft, about a foot high. I could use a better watering setup than me, a sprayer hose and occasional rainfail. Looking into some soaker hoses and sprinkles.
 
you suck, making it look so easy.....

speaking of hot stuff, we've had a jalapeno bush for over 3 years that just keeps producing and producing. Its easy to maintain.

Tomato's are more finicky.
 
We can't run year round either. Usually 2 plantings. We get frost/freezes from October thru March.
 
gonna add 320-400 pounds of composted cow shit today, then plant :)

first thing to go in

 
Since you guys have your gardening game up, a few questions-

We're adding some beds to the yard at the new place very soon. These will be for perennials, shrubs, etc. I assume I have to cut out the grass area and then turn the soild and add some top soil, nutrients, etc in there but not entirely sure how to go about it. Any tips for starting a planting bed from a section of currently grassy yard?
 
My biggest issue with beds is weeds. I'd say double up on weed barrier
Also, consider your edging, it's easiest before bringing in more soil.
