I made a thread last year with the experiment of my first garden.  Overall I would rate my success at 6 out of 10.  

The corn failed, my tomatoes grew well, but did not produce as much as I expected.  The peppers were the real winners last year along with cucumbers.

That said, I have picked up and moved the family to our dream spot.  I have two gardens that have never been planted, which are located in a clearing in the woods.

Pic from the porch:


The one on the left is extremely rich dirt, I think that goats were penned in this enclosure.  I peeled the fence back to till it, and after it is planted I will put it back in place.
You can see the greenhouse where the plants are growing for now, I will plant them in about 2 weeks.

Here is a shot of the bigger, unfenced garden.  Pardon my demolition of the bridge, it was rotten, and I am tearing it down with my loader on my tractor.  It will be rebuilt after I get the garden in.


Another view of the larger plot:


Here is the enclosed smaller garden next to the greenhouse:


I have water and power out at both gardens.  I am thinking about energizing a fence to keep the deer out.

Since this has not been planted, and I am too busy/lazy to test the soil, I spread out 200 lbs of lime and dropped 75 lbs of 15/15/15 which I tilled under.

I hope this will be sufficient to get the soil right.

Crop to be planted:
corn, tomatoes, melons, squash, cucumber, broccoli, bell peppers, banana peppers, jalapeño peppers, bush beans, onions and whatever else i decide to fail at growing.

Comments, criticism, coaching is always welcome.

Thanks for reading.

Neat spot.  How much sun does it get mid-summer?  Lots of trees around, but it looks like you have a decent clearing to work with.
Nice house, too, if that's it peeking through the trees.

Think about a chipper-shredder.  Shredding a bunch of those leaves every fall will provide you with enough mulch to make weed problems a thing of the past.

Not sure on the sunlight, we just bought the place.... Hopefully enough

I have been wanting a wallenstein pto chipper not sure if that will do leaves.  Around these parts, all farm equipment prices rise directly proportional to the amount of rust on it.  They are proud of it.  

I never find deals like our sister down in East Texas does.

One thing you can do this year is start tracking that... make yourself a sketch of the clearing including the garden spot, and print off a bunch of copies.  Once a week or so go out mid-day and draw in the areas the sun is hitting, and where it isn't.  That changes a lot over the course of a year, as the sun moves around in the sky and leaf cover comes and goes.  If you get serious about the gardening, you can use this history to help choose what to plant where, and when.

BTW what the heck was the purpose of that bridge?  I couldn't envision a flash flood/runoff event requiring such a bridge.  The height and narrow width actually made me think of kids actually falling off it.  Dunno, just my initial thoughts on it.

Good looking soil.
You might want to consider thinning out some of the surrounding trees to let in more sunlight.Trimming off the lower branches of remaining trees will help too.

The bridge was here when we bought the place.  That thing is over 12 feet off the ground in the middle!  I am dropping it down to about 6 feet off the ground and will be placing a railing.  The wife wanted it rebuilt, who am I to argue?

Last year I bought a WoodMaxx PTO chipper with hydraulic feed, I've been very happy with it.  My place has a lot of 6" pines, and the chipper will turn the whole tree into mulch.  No shredder though.

I planted 8 rows of corn today, one row of melons, and two rows of squash and cucumber.

The onions and broccoli have been in the ground for a week or so.

I plan on placing the tomatoes, bell pepper, jalapeño, banana peppers and beans this weekend.

I am concerned about the sunlight issue.

About peppers... they are co-dependent women, so to speak.  You need to treat them right when you meet them, and then abuse them.  

When you plant them, add a handful of matches under the rootball.  Add in a bone, or handful of oyster shell to boot.   Put a Tspn of fertilizer.  Cover this treasure with 1-2" of soil.

Never fertilize them again.

When you pick the peppers, don't worry about occasionally snapping a branch.  Don't do enough damage to cause them to die, or call the cops, but, don't be gentle.

They are not tomatoes, they are not shrinking violets.

Peppers only produce fruit when they are worried about survival.  Make them happy and you get nothing.  Rough them up and well...see line 1.

Homemade ketchup is about 6.00 a pint.

I am getting about 6-7 hrs of sun on each garden so far, it will get more as summer progresses. Can't tell by these pics though

We got a little over an inch of rain yesterday and the corn,melons,squash&cucumber jumped from the ground.  These were planted with seed.

Corn is out of the ground


Orange and red bell peppers doing well (big boys are two rows on right)


Cucumber and squash coming up from seed.  I may have planted these too close... We will see.


This is the better boys, Roma's, cherry tomatoes along with banana, bell, jalapeño.  I also have broccoli and onions on the right.


Clearing up the dead mans bridge, chickens in sight


Making a waterfall for the wife unit in our koi pond. If it turns out ok, that will be another thread.
Pardon the mess of rock and hosepipe.





Gave away the 20 tomato plants I had left.

A few pics and update:

cherry tomato going well, with broccoli finishing the row.  The onions seem to be doing better.  I think they are too close to the other plants.



better boys with my eclectic pepper collection.  I had to tie up the maters (ran out of baskets) as the rain had lain several on the ground.  I may have to dig them up and replace.  Its not like I have a shortage of tomatoes.


cucumber and squash coming along nicely.


I fertilized the corn and tomatoes today in the bigger garden.  I am not getting enough sun I think in this one.  I am thinking about tree removal prior to planting next year.


lots of grass down in this area.  I planted bush beans and they are coming along nicely.  I hoed the rows, hoping when they take off that they will overtake the grass.

Onions and tomatoes are competitors.  You can move your onions.  It will set them back a week, but, it can be done. Onions are tolerant of uprooting at the stage you have,

But, you could also just make sure you feed them both a triple 13, or similar, every two weeks.  You need to feed the onions anyways, and the tomatoes will appreciate the extra nutrition.

If you want really large onions, not scallions, move 'em.  Otherwise, feed 'em and pluck them as needed for seasoning.

On the tomatoes.  I had an issue this year with a torrential levels of rain.  It put all of mine on the ground, wilted.  From Googling, and from watching mine react ... they can handle it.  They will stunt a little, but, as long as they have a chance to dry out heir roots a little (every 4 days or less) they will recover.

On your bugs ...

For anything that lives, crawls, or digs on the ground you need  ground based poison.  Ortho makes a great broad spectrum killer.

This: http://www.hayneedle.com/product/orthobugbgonemaxinsectkillergranules.cfm?redirect=false&source=pla&kwid=Pest%20Control%20High&tid=BCL1262&adtype=pla&kw=&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=BCL1262&gclid=CjgKEAjwzIucBRDzjIz9qMOB3TASJABBIwL1n94RH-gkNgu8bknyzaa6tlCQF3EgWzP7fkl0LbBEyvD_BwE

Wal-Mart sells it for 10.99.  Kills cutworms as well.  I use it for all of my plantings now.  It's cheap and persistent in the soil to keep killing even after a rain.

For those that eat leaves, you need something that sticks to the leaves.  .Liquid Sevin is great for this.  You can also use a powder, but it is more susceptible to wind and rain.   Gordon's Garden Powder is also great.  As soon as you see holes appear, either spray or dust to kill them.

For those that do not get killed by the ground based or leaf based poisons (like beetles and stink bugs) you need a direct spray.  These are typically vine boring bugs.  Their legs keep them out of the soil based poisons and they stick a proboscis in to the vine so they are not exposed to leave based poisons.  Aphids also fall in to this category.  This is dicier because the spray will be tailored for the bugs.  For most, a surfactant based killer will work.  Mild soapy water.  Careful though, soaps can damage some plant's leaves.   I use Mr. Clean with Febreeze for this, avoid the one with Gain added.  It's too soapy and seals the leaves and kills the leaves.

Well we have been getting rain every day.  Two inches in the last two days.  The tomatoes in the fenced garden have grown 10" in four days they were not to the top of the baskets, now they are wayyyy above.  I will have to stake these I believe.


This is just a pic of the larger garden.  Corn is a ft tall but you can clearly see it is not getting enough sunlight.  The beans on the right are really jumping in the last 72 hrs.  Tomatoes and peppers seem to be doing ok, but nothing compared to the little garden.

Fwiw ... if you are pressed for space, you can grow beans and corn in the same row.  They don't compete.  Corn needs nitrogen and get it from the soil, beans get it from the air.  Beans like to climb the corn.  Natural trellis

I have done it a couple times.  Personally, I have enough room and no longer grow them in the same areas.  It also can be a pain to harvest beans because of the corn stalks in your face.

But, since you are working with less space, it might be something you want to try to increase your production on that amount of space.

Do you think that you planted the tomato rows to close together and thats why you have blight?
In my area we don't have enough wind to dry out the plants not to mention the humidity.
I'm going to plant the same spacing but row them further apart next year.

No garden update, other than the tomatoes seem to have gotten over the wilt, and have a lot of fruit going.  The corn is just beginning to silk out.

Since we moved in this place, the wife has been asking about 'storage' in her closet.  I finally got around to building a couple of shelving units for her. Used cedar for the smell, even though the house is all tongue and groove pine on the inside.  She wanted it, so she got it.

pic of half the shop


felt hungry so I broke out the biscuits


joining wood


other half of shop


putting it together, and staining


letting it dry


I know it is not the best, but as a seldom practiced hobby, it turned out ok for my work.  It will be fastened to exposed beams in the closet roof and the 1x2 strip on the back will be used to fasten to the T&G boards.  I think they will be very secure.
