Mark's first SFG - Page 11 Empty 2023's First Tomato Crop!

Post  markqz 2/6/2023, 11:35 pm

So, I can grow tomatoes in winter. But I would say they're more like "vine-mouldered" then "vine-ripened". The Cherokee developed cracks, even though we had more rain than ever. So not sure about the "under water" theory. Seems like maybe it's just something the Cherokees do.

I told myself I wasn't going to keep the perennial kale. Then the kale started to perk up. We'll see.

Mark's first SFG - Page 11 Empty Compost Bin at 130F

Post  markqz 5/3/2023, 4:17 pm

Even a small compost bin can reach some high temperatures if you stay up all night reading it Shakespearean sonnets. Here it is less than 12 hours after start-up. The top-level has already dropped 8 inches. Actually, I'm not sure if the sonnets were entirely necessary.

Mark's first SFG - Page 11 Empty 2023 Compost at 155F

Post  markqz 6/29/2023, 5:53 pm

It's not too hard to get high temperatures when you have enough material! This year it rained and rained, so I actually was able to put up a "big" bin of compost.

Mark's first SFG - Page 11 JMqcJEc

This is the bin I got for all the extra material I needed to compost this year. I didn't want to spend a lot, because most years there isn't even enough material around to fill my small compost box. And if you say, "Just use chicken wire" -- you haven't priced chicken wire lately. Wink

Mark's first SFG - Page 11 Empty Principle #1: Plant Densely

Post  markqz 7/12/2023, 12:45 pm

There are 10 principles outlined at the start of the All New Square Foot Gardening (3rd ed.). Principle 1 is ...
All New Square Foot Gardening wrote:1. Plant densely. Don’t waste space. You can grow a lot of produce in much less space that you dreamed possible.
So what happened is that year after year I would see most of my squash die. So this year I decided to just overplant, and then use the squares where the squash failed for something else. You can guess what happened next ...

This picture doesn't do it justice. Usually the Cherokees have all sorts of cracks. This one's too nice to eat. I'm thinking of having it bronzed.

My 4 were unusually nice looking, also. I'm giving credit to the cool spring and early summer. Now it's in the 100s for days to come. They have my permission to be cracked, lumpy and disfigured.
