you make big garden too
heat takes time to come here too
so we made our plant inside
and this year we're going to build a greenhouse

Best of luck on the greenhouse, you should keep us posted on it 🙂

yes sure i will post some pics
my greenhouse will be made whit frame of a big commercial tempo

Just put in 3 x 8' rows of peas...we never have good crops of these, so just a few to see one last time.
1 x 8' row beets
1 x 8' row turnips
2 x 5' row spinach
1 x 8' row head lettuce

Indoor seeds all died this year again due to temperature changes in the house, so thinking of doing a greenhouse myself this year.
Something that I can disassemble into panels and put away for the winter, then easily assemble it in the spring.

That why i use tempo frame so i take off plastic in winter
so the snow dont brake it

Just planted a bunch of peppers. started some herbs (cilantry, parsley etc.) which will go outside soon. Started some Lovage (perennial that tastes like celery) ... hope to put that out in a week or so.

Nice, I have been busy in the gardens, but the big push today was to add in another 22 rhubarb plants, now we have 34 on the farm, so we should average 200 to 250 pounds in harvest on them yearly once in full production.

Lovage (perennial that tastes like celery)

Careful with that - some has a very strong flavour with a bitter aftertaste. Black lovage(Alexanders) seems much milder. I had the regular one (has hollow green stems that make a cool, celery tasting straw for Caesars) and a friend brought another lovage plant last August from some old lady cleaning out her garden beds.
I planted it but figured it was dead until it came up strong this spring and it's a very mild taste with purple stems.

Have the radishes, turnips, carrots, spinach, lettuces and collards in. The lovage, sorrel, and garlic are looking fine.
Have a cold frame with carrot and just put cucumbers, Achocha(like cukes) and bush beans in.
Plenty of Orach volunteers coming up from seed.
Orach has been a great success around here, tastes like spinach and produces salads right through the heat of summer. Grows anywhere - everywhere really.
Adding Malabar spinach this year too - supposed to do well in the heat.

I think we're still in for another frost here and my zucchini already looks like it's got flower buds in the starting pots.

Tilled up my soil yesterday, my garden is 40' by 40' in town, protected by the typical short fencing towns have as the deer like to always try to get in. I have ground to re-work on the old farm as it is no longer being cared for my a family friend due to old age. Ever since I was a child I have called him the "candy man" he and my grand father always worked a massive garden and I would always run up and get a piece or two of candy from him with my 2 brothers. I stilled remember to this day and it bring's me happiness.

My town garden is pretty small so I will be adding some larger less maintenance plants and tree's out at the farm. I plan to re-work the soil, add in a huge raspberry field (as grandfather once had), cherry tree's, plum tree's and a few varieties of crab and regular small apples that are all proven to grow very well in my area. The farm is also my main hunting area and I will need to add good fencing and solar electrical fence wire to protect everything. I also have two area's to plant; the main visible area that everyone can see, and the hidden in the bush only planes and such can easily see.

I am also looking at investing in one of these for my yard in town and have saved 6 black garbage bags of biomass from last years lawn and garden. I like the look and at matches my yard well. It's called the Aerobin 400 Composter and holds up to 420 litres or 111USG

Just got in all the braccias...cauliflour, broccoli, cabbage.
Next weekend I will finish off the planting with tomatoes, peppers, green & yellow beans, carrots, corn and squash(summer and winter).
I might put in some potatoes for the dehydrator, and of course, we'll see what the garden center has available for herbs.

Nice, I am planting but further behind then you.. have several hundred onions in and a couple hundred more to go.. got the first rows of early beets, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, raddish etc in O and the parsnips, but they are all in the 12 to 20 foot rows for the fresh summer eating.. the big rows will go in over the next two weeks for the winter use/canning etc. Hubby has booked time off, so we will have both us planting and working on the gardens for two weeks to get the big planting push done..

Speaking of potato's, we were digging in last years bed and we found a plant that had been missed, while we had a good amount of straw bedding for hilling but as you know we had a really good hard winter, we were surprised to find a whole batch of fresh spuds to dig out that had held over the winter for spring use, I have a girlfriend that did the same locally with carrots that worked really well and a second girlfriend that overwinter her cabbage in the gardens that worked really well..

I am going to play with this in the fall, I am going to see if I can carry over a number of things this winter for spring harvest and or second year seed harvesting on the second year without taking things out of the gardens.

HAHAHA...you think I'm ahead?
You plant sooooooo much more than me that it isn't even a comparison!
My main storage crops are yet to be planted...
green & yellow beans - about 24 ft rows each
tomatoes - 24 plants
zuchinni (mixes with tomatoes for pasta sauce) - 10 - 12 plants
carrots - as much as I can...hopefully 40 - 50 ft rows
I figure that by the end of this season, I will have a good grasp on what grows well and concentrate on that.

Got 60' of heirloom carrots planted, along with 6 sweet banana peppers and a short row of heirloom pickling cucumbers.
Also turned some more soil in the main garden for the coming week's planting...just the smaller plot left to do.
The old and neglected flower bed on the side of the house was completely dug out. I put down some weed cloth and filled it with fresh black earth, peat moss, and some black gold from the compost pile. It is now an herb garden with Purple coneflower, chamomile, basil, tarragon, thyme, oregano, dill, and a few others I can't remember.
The mint is coming up late, but strong (thanks again to farmgal for the plants) and it seems that the asperagus survived its first winter and is now growing in.
I should be harvesting that by next season, and splitting the year after that!
OH...if we end up having a spring meet for the Ottawa group, I am willing to do some trades if anyone has some of the citronella plants...I can't find them here anymore.
All the garden centers know what I'm talking about, but don't have them due to lack of demand.

Do you plant the spuds later in the season when attempting to over-winter them outside in the garden ?

I know someone who is able to keep KALE going most of the winter if that is something that interests you to try.
