This past fall I built 2 small raised beds.. Got some incredible black gold from only composted leaves from a neighbor.
I plan on putting Spinach, Kale, & Lettuce in one and Garlic and Carrots in the other... Leaving the rest of the garden bed for other bigger crops I'll soon figure out what.
The Garlic is in ... Lets hope they don't sprout in December like last yr. lol With the cold pattern coming, I don't think they will.
Here's the other bed.. Goodnight till April. Not sure what I have planned yet. Cucumbers for sure here but I want to rotate a few things. Was nice to give the soil a rest this yr.
Last one for now... My volcano leaf pile. Should be fun to watch the progress of it over time and how it breaks down. I do add food scrap into the center of it.
Hope all you guys have a happy and wonderful garden in 2018!
I don't veggie garden anymore, but I do like the hummers, and that is who some of my plantings are for, along with the many butterflies,and bees I now get.
Cam, I must admit when I just saw the thread I was thinking "oh wow, finally pictures of the garden" completely ignoring the date or the fact that you had previously explained you took the year off, for the most part. Your garden and its' yield are only pipe dreams in my world. I live with the clay here and I am lucky I can get tomatoes. The clay here is the size of a Flintstone boulder.
Great pix Cambium. You and your projects are like a force of nature, an inspiration to us all.

Thanks and Thanks! I really do appreciate it, but my garden pales in comparison to some others in this forum. I feel like mine is boring and repetitive. Nice to look back on over the years though. Each year brings new challenges and situations.
Lots of love and the season didn't even start. Seeds get started indoors starting end of February
Winter started off Frigid and Snowy then after January 5th the pattern changed. It became more normal with ups and down and lots of rain with very little snow. The ground froze & thawed several times.
Just measured the soil temp. Probe only went 2.5" down so its frozen below that. 35.7°F at 2.5"
I'm about 3 weeks away from starting the hot Pepper seeds. 5 weeks away from starting Tomato and other seeds.
Doing a little maintenance and replacing bulbs with the wood stove going on for heat as usual.
This mornings look at one of the garden beds. Mud season in middle of winter. lol
Here was back in Mid January. What happens when the ground is frozen with half foot snowpack and then we get heavy rains? #Flooding
What a tease. May like temps today I feel like I should be transplanting something.
70° outside so I got a big itch.
Just bought this.. getting ready to start seeds soon.
The warm air and sun is warming up the soil nicely but since I been keeping track I noticed it fluctuates night and day so it wont stay this warm for more than couple hours.. Soil temp drops to 30s/40s at night. Kinda surprised at the fluctuation actually.
57° at 4.5" deep
