Pappy Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I have been lax in taking pics of the raised garden i built my mother last year. It has really taken off this year and she already has harvested Celery, Onions and Cabbage. The cabbage took over the small garden and they grew extremely well. I will have to build their own little garden area next year and plant more. I also added a trellis and a potato garden. Here are some pics. Figured we all needed a break from TL, Consolidation, Biden etc threads. These first pics are a round 3 foot fire ring that is the strawberry garden. A 8 foot by 4 foot potato garden. A trellis with small gardens on either side. These are all made of live edge lumber I got a few years ago. More to come Bon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pappy Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 the strawberry garden, potato garden and the trellis with cantaloupe, cucumbers and watermelon on it. I started today to put weed barrier down and mulch as they were taking over the area. I still need to complete that task. Pics I had of the cabbage, peppers etc did not show up on my camera apparently I did not hold the button down long enough. Bon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavender Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 No deer or groundhogs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen a groundhog near her place plus they cannot get into the raised garden. Now the trellis and strawberries I have worried about that but figured I would wait and see. So far no chipmunks have stolen her strawberries and she has eaten quite a few already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petee Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Your Square Foot garden pictures are great! You did it just as it's supposed to be done. Might I be permitted to use your pictures in a training class and display? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Gardener Certification Classes start in October and go till March of the next year. That requires an Apprenticeship also which is time spent working on the gardens in Brookville. If you like in Clearfield County, you woul dhave to contact that Extension for class info. Jefferson County will be offering some regular classes late this summer. I'll announce them here when we get them set up. Pappy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they can climb quite well. Pappy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if they can predict the weather they can climb trees haha lavender 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 Planted carrots last year but they never took off. Well at least one made till this year. It was just discovered . Finished the mulch around the trellis and the plants are climbing nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pappy Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 Celery is being eaten up. I had my mother cut them off instead of pulling the whole plant. I want to see if they will grow back some. I heard that they will. The tomatoes are growing like weeds also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petee Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I hope I get to grow carrots this fall that succeed. I could put away a couple of bushels for the dogs. They love them! Pappy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pappy Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Trellis is doing exceptional. The plants are growing well. They are getting more sun than the one I have at my house and it shows. Cucumbers are starting just in the past few days and she has some watermelon starting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petee Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 The trellises are a little more work and money, but they will make your harvest so much better! I am finally seeing Mexican Cucumbers in my deck garden. Can't wait till I have enough to ferment! It's a Gut Health Pill in a teeny little watermelon shaped package.

lavender Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Peppers and eggplant doing well this year. Planted way to much cabbage. Don't know what I was thinking. Both summer and winter squash off to a rough start. Doing better now. Broccoli and cauliflower iffy. I think our summers are getting warmer. jaman and Pappy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaman Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 My eggplant. Disaster. My Beefsteak and Roma tomatoes just starting. Cucumbers just starting. Strawberry plant. trying to salvage it. Next year im going to do a raised garden. Not a potted garden. Pappy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That trellis costs me around $50 for the cattle panel and 4 posts. I made the boxes on the sides from wood I had and then spent around $15 for the garden soil.
