From G00gle's spyplane a couple of years ago.

The hill slopes down towards the bottom (south). The garden was the green lines on the right.

Finally broke down the rest of my garden this morning. I hadn't touched these plants in probably a couple of months, but as you can see by the yield, they liked the cooler weather. Now what to do with all of the peppers?

I still have onions and celery that are not finished yet, but otherwise I should be getting ready to prepare next years garden soon. If the organic amendments don't work I am going to waste no time and go to regular chemical fertilizer, which are mostly just naturally occurring salts. I am not going to put up with another unproductive garden.

I pulled up my landscape fabric and that garden is a memory. I'll be fighting really awful soil with you next year, Lance. I'll fix it with composted cowpoop and SAP thrown right in the holes with the plants. Lots of Miracle Grow along the way, too. :)

I just cleaned a Jack be Little pumpkin out a couple days ago so I could save the seeds. It got pushed around and carried around for months till it ended up on top of the fridge where it got lost.
Lisa pointed it out to me last week and I set it down where I'd see Orval I'd remember to clean it. The seeds are just about dry enough to put away now.

My Park Seed catalog showed up a few days ago. All my seeds are lost right now, so I'll probably just order all my seeds for this year unless I get finished moving and unpacking and find my seed boxes. :)
I don't usually get stoked about garden season this early, but I'm already getting itchy. :D

Re: Let's see those '10 gardens
 

Tell me more about this Park Seed catalog. Do they sell heriloom varieties? I'm going to expand my garden next year and want to plant a larger variety of plants. I'm thinking corn, squash, carrots, maybe some potatoes. Not sure what yet, but I'm already thinking of next year.

I did get my garlic in the ground back in early November. Should have around 20 heads this time around. Not sure of the variety, it was something my sister gave me.

Re: Let's see those '10 gardens
 

Park seeds has a nice selection. They have all varieties of heirloom and hybrids. But if you want strictly heirlooms, check out Baker's Creek seeds. For my hybrids I'd go with johnnyseeds.
