Hard to do with a few feet of snow on the ground.

 

I think late April or May will be the time to start this for us.

Living in the mild SF Bay area, we've already had tomatoes, serrano peppers, and lettuce in the ground for over two weeks. Last week the radishes, various types of "green beans", squash of several types were sprouted inside and once sprouted I put them into pots with planting soil to allow them to grow enough that any nibbling by slugs or snails won't doom them before they get a chance to be able to withstand small scale depradations. We're anxiously awaiting seeds from China that various friends of my wife who've immigrated brought with them, and her family is also going to send some of the vegetables available from Sichuan, my wife's home province. Laopo's a city girl and has never had a garden, and is enjoying the work we've done so far, and anticipating the fun and savings of having garden fresh vegetables.

Well I still have not got anything planted yet The ole Troy tiller has been acting up so I went down today and got a new carb for it(I have re-built it twice and it still dosent run right??) and a new battery, it runs like a scalded ape now. I am just wondering how much vegetables we could have got for the $175.00 I spent on fixing it Hey I did get in 16 Blackberries(thornless, Apache and Ouachita) and two peach trees and a fig tree.

We will plant our garden once we get back from China in April. Since we have two gardens one will be just corn and beans the other we will plant tomatos, peppers, squash, crookneck and zucchini, cucumbers, parsley, onions and maybe some Chinese green leafy vegetables. Right now the chickens have been taking their dust baths in the garden we currently have 8 when we get back we will probably add another 6. It is currently 82 degrees the cherry tree and apple trees are flowering we also have blackberries and boysenberries, grape vines, orange and fig trees. We enjoy spending time in the yard during the evenings during the summer.

Well, FINALLY got some real garden work out of my girls!

 

Since I built this place 3 years ago, they have been responsible for the strawberry patch. (between the two concrete treads of the driveway).

 

Strawberries in Oregon are great, but they need to be replaced every two years to bear good sized fruit consistantly.

 

With our generally mild summers, we get strawberries (everbearing) all summer long---just great! Jet is 12 now, and Eve is almost 10. In their cases, I've found it took about the 3 plus years we have been here to get them interested in serious gardening. Sure, I did alot of the sod busting, but this last weekend, they went through the tangle of strawberry plants and seperated the young ones from the spent ones, and today, worked together like clockwork (after school) to put in the new ones, very proud Papa...
