GARDENING 2025!

[Patchouli]

What are your plans for the coming year in your garden?
It has been kind of mild here so far for late autumn.
Back in early September I visited with a friend I hadn't seen since we were in our 20s. Her daughter's new property is near here and they gave me a tour of the property. I finally got to see a really big garden that had the shade cloth over the whole thing. That was so cool.
My plans might not include being here so I'm going to be making little plans for growing a few things on a very small scale.

I removed a couple of raised beds that were getting in bad shape and were close to the deer breakfast area! I'll be planting all my usual things, tomatoes, peppers, cukes, squash in pots. Deciding where I might put a couple more raised beds!

Too soon. Still 5 months before garden season here.

I ain't doing much in the garden this winter . The squirrels dug up or ate my winter spinach , kale , and cabbage . Though I was up before dawn with my flashlight emptying wood ashes from my heater onto garden beds . I am in the process of adding mushroom logs to my gardening plan . I figure during the touted global winter mushrooms might be a nice dish to have .

Only a high temp of 34 here today. No gardening, even the plants in the greenhouse want parkas.

Lion’s Mane was something suggested from farmers almanac. Can be grown indoors in sawdust. My LH had some Reishi growing and I didn’t do a thing with it, it continued to grow until I kinda killed it because I didn’t know what to do with it. It got kinda big.
>>Squirrels, little hungry jerks. I put a couple of pots that had leftover dried up/frost hit pansies out back. Squirrels ate them, the whole plant.

I've got two kinds of cabbage, broccoli and purple cauliflower that won't be ready until well after new year's. The elephant garlic will be ready in late spring. Other than that I need to clear off the top of my refrigerator and turn the grow lights on for seed starting by February.
The south end of my garden was completely taken over by Bermuda grass this year because I put in an irrigation system and it likes the water. It was really fun digging up the potatoes this year. So, I think I'm going to be running 10' wide sheets of black plastic over that section and suffocate it. I can cut holes in it for planting and plant a little earlier there, too.

I start seeding under lights in February, too.

Well the seed catalogs are arriving, so the planning has begun!

I have a neighbor who has built coverings for his garden beds, maybe made of corrugated plastic. I have raised beds around the border of my yard and I have been considering making some. It didn't occur to me that that would protect my garden from squirrels as well.
