As we inch closer and closer to spring/summer gardening season, it's about time to start preparing. Figuring out what to plant, making sure the seeds are ready to go, coming up with a plan for how everything will lay out in the garden, and figuring out how to make sure it all gets enough water. For me, that last point is the primary thing I'll need to focus on for this year. This year will be my second year gardening, but my first year going completely drip irrigation. I'm not using the...

I'm retired and one of my retirement jobs is raising cattle. The cows make excellent cow manure which when composted is free of pathogens and seed and a tremendous garden soil builder. I formerly did this all alone but nowadays, I use dogs and helpers to round 'em up. The manure and scrap hay is dozed into big piles which then generates tremendous heat killing all the bad stuff. Contrary to what you will read on the 'net and what "experts" say this is highly fertile and soil tests...

Saw this topic on another gardening forum and thought it was a great idea. I'm assuming folks are doing at least a little something in their gardens almost every day, so this could be a place to keep everyone else updated on the little things you're doing. Who knows, it might remind someone else that they need to get out and do the same in their gardens! It'll also be interesting to see how different people, from different parts of the world, are tending to their gardens on any given day. So, what did you do in your garden today? Also, thought I'd spice this thread up by posting a photo from Meadowlark.

How about a long running thread to capture the pickings from your garden today? Just post 'em up with or without commentary. I'll start with tomatoes, blue lake green beans, Sarpa Mira potatoes, Tex super sweet onions: @Mike: request to make this a sticky thread please.

Back in the "old" days before the internet and AI, what did you use to determine your last frost date? For decades and decades, I used a special pecan tree in my back yard. Never a liar, this tree has been the best predictor of frost-free conditions. When it buds out, it is safe to plant everything here. What do you use, apart from technology, to predict?
