I ran out of my sweet pickled onions so I did the dirty and went to Sam’s and bought a bag of purple onions and used yours and Brooklyn’s recipe for pickled onions (I’ve been using that recipe for a couple of years) … I shared it and your website/blog site on my fb. Good stuff!!! Excellent with nixtamalized corn tortillas, homemade flour tortillas, quesadillas, etc. Glad I’ve got extra onions going this year! Tomorrow, I’ll be planting my lil marvel sweet peas- I like your trellising method. I’ve been using a cattle panel but this may be an adjustment I need to make!

I got two bunches of green onions from the store and stuck them in the dirt for more green tops and eventually a bunch of fresh seeds when they bloom. I planted purple onion seeds but I guess they were old and none came up yet. My fresh leek seeds are growing fast though. I`ve never tried leeks so I`m hoping to eat some and allow a couple to make seeds for mass planting.

Thanks Travis! So much common sense being applied to feeding the family. After years of gardening it so easy to see the wisdom of keeping things manageable and flexible. Lose one crop have another waiting to cover the loss. If you eat it try to grow it. Thanks again.

We grow 2, double 20' rows and 1, 4x8' raised beds of Peas as early as we can each Spring. Usually that will give us 4, 1gal ziplock bags of Peas in the freezer. Also, if planted by mid April, they are done by the end of June, just before the 1st week of July when the Japanese beetles emerge and the food they're after is gone. They love munching on Peas. Oh, and when we pull those plants, we cut the plants and leave their nitrogen rich roots in place. Free fertilizer, just waiting to feed a second round of plants, that Beetles don't like.

Don`t need 150 ft of peas? My wild bunny friend eats more than that for breakfast! So I got an easy to set up bunny fence this year. Hopefully I can enjoy some lettuce again too. Bunny has made me paranoid. But bunnies may be my meat supply in the future the way things are headed so I`ll fix up a small patch for them. - I gotta get some of those Southern heirloom multiplying onions and walking onions from y`all soon if you have any. Surely Bunny don`t eat those? I moved away from this region of Louisiana for three decades and now I don`t know anybody who has them. In fact, I don`t trust people much anymore and have decided to keep to myself. I tend to always seem to meet a lot of scammer types and thieves and I just refuse to take it anymore or take chances because my patience took a permanent vacation. - I got a tiny Dwarf Everbearing Mulberry tree yesterday. The picture looked a whole lot better but it has leaves on it and they grow fast in Louisiana. I have it under a light until the weather warms. A wagon load of forest dirt should be good enough to plant it in. - Strawberry plants arrive tomorrow. Not sure what I`m gonna do with those yet. Four Celeste Fig trees are on the way too. I figured I`d better plant a lot and at least dedicate some trees to the birds that help with pests around here. I already feed them so I`ll just use fine mesh to either cover the best trees or the individual figs. I got a 10x30 sheet of that plus I have mesh brewing bags. Raccoons will probably have to be added to the menu here because they`re becoming a problem so I got a pressure cooker and a 2 gallon steel pot for that and some larger caliber pellet projectors.

I almost bought a Celeste fig at Lowe's today for $32.50 and it was a good size but I couldn't remember which category it falls under, honey, berry, sugar or what and didn't want to Google it with all the people around me. I don't have space for it had I bought it but it sure was tempting. We been eating broccoli and I'm wondering if I have enough cool weather left to grow a second round. Taters are up already and I'm hoping no hard freezes in future.

Good video. I also want to point out that the SPIN farming guys suggest throwing fertilizer on top of the old row and tilling the row one time shallow and then planting seeds or transplants.

I’m at Lowe’s right now trying to get a tarp for weed suppression in my raised beds, but they only have really big black tarps & they’re expensive. They have a smaller silver/brown reversible tarp which looks like it would block out the sun but I’m not 100% sure. Do you happen to know if a silver/brown tarp would block out the sun enough to smother the weeds?
@LazyDogFarm

It might block out the sun, but it will also break down pretty fast in the sun. That's why the UV resistant tarps are better. They last a long time.

Do you plan to do a taste test on the onions so I can kinda get an idea of which ones I would like to consider planting? Okay--I didn't thin my carrots on your advice so I am curious about how yours are doing--mine are packed in together and pretty skinny. I have harvested some to make a little more space for the others. Thanks so much!

True. $16/lb pushed me out of Wood Prairie seed taters for the first time in years! Co Op had Kennebec, Yukon Gold, Red Pontiacs for .75 cents a pound-50 lb sacks for $30. I sure hated not to patronize those good folks at Wood Prairie, but it was simply an economic decision. These were inspected/certified taters from Minnesota.
