I planted two cherokee purples, two early girls (one was gallon size so hoping it fruits by easter), a black krim, an arkansas traveler, some heritage one called a vorlon at the community garden along with a jalapeno and a serrano. I have two cherry varieties,
a juliet and a sweet 100, I will plant at the house.
I trimmed all the parallel branches off the tomatoes and planted them as deep as could since that is supposed to promote strong roots and bigger fruit.
Our cilantro and parsley made it through the freeze after cutting it way back and has already come back nicely. We also left one curly kale plant to try to get it going year round.
We will plant green beans, zucchini, squash, and cucumbers once the community garden gets its seed packs in.Last edited by El General; 03-02-2021, 01:35 PM.

Little late getting here but wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to plant one this year being our spring outage is just starting. But I had 3 days off and being that I had tilled my garden spot up about a month ago, I was able to get my snap beans and sweet corn planted. Hopefully around the first of April I’ll have a day off and get my watermelons and peas planted.

So this is why everyone ignored me when I created a thread about my garden. I knew you guys were out there. I just planted 10 tomato varieties, jalapeno, habanero for that awesome hot sauce with peaches, eggplant, tons of herbs that I will cook with, shi****o peppers, and green beans. I suggest you peeps getting thai basil because the bees where all over that stuff last year in my garden.

Will they interfere with the seeds once planted or sprouts?
Yessir they can when it's small... My wife's "girls" are not completely free-range, but we let 'em out when we are home and around. With a garden that's growing good, they do some pretty good bug control, but they will pull emerging plants and scratch in the dirt for bugs and such if you don't keep 'em out... maybe a hot wire for a while?? My grand pa used to do that when he'd start his garden... After a couple weeks, the chickens wouldn't go anywhere near his garden...
