Replacing and adding some raised beds for veggies and berries. Got a smoking deal on some western red cedar 4x4 6ft. Will give the garden some presence, final height to be determined by wood amount.
Nothing like raised beds especially in a damp climate like we have here.Replacing and adding some raised beds for veggies and berries. Got a smoking deal on some western red cedar 4x4 6ft. Will give the garden some presence, final height to be determined by wood amount.
Wife’s got the seed mats going inside, we have garlic in 1 of the beds to be replaced so will build about 1/2 now and then rest as we harvest. Far cry from the pallet wood beds we started with, 10+yrs ago now we’re onto version 3.0looks great do you have any starters going in doors
Thanks Scott. No it will be mostly a summer place like before. I'm just there for the fishing! More of a wife thing...lolVery nice, will that be a full time residence ?
Looks great RS, congrats on a beautiful place. Your obviously livin your dream my friend and that’s awesome.,Well not sure if it counts as boredom relief but I am bored today so here it goes. After viewing a place near our old one last June we eventually bought it last October. So after buying it remotely we haven't been in the place in almost 8 months! Sooo…...a few weeks ago my daughter and I made the long drive to the coast through the Rockies and the Coquihalla. I've done this drive countless times since we moved off the Island but this one by far was the most Sporty! lol I had my daughter take a picture during one of the more enjoyable sections of highway.
The main reason for the trip was to close the deal (lawyer etc) on our old place and move the last of my stuff (fishing tackle) to the new place. My wife wasn't a big fan of the colors or the Bear stencils so "Hey while you are there maybe you can paint the upstairs since it's empty?" At least the view was good while I worked.
Anyways here are a few of the before and after pics of the list of things I signed up for apparently...lol
And don't worry.....my wife has spent the last month ordering new furniture so I no longer will have to sit on a lawn chair to watch an old TV. She did at least let me order the new TV for above the mantel.....so I guess I can't complain too much.
The whole family is making the trip for Easter Week to officially move in and according to my wife buy more stuff....
Planning on dropping the boat in for the week and put the hurt on a few crabs and a halibut or two. Can't wait!
My wife does all the leg work for this, I just weed and water. But this site should show you when to plant things for our climate.
Regional Planting Charts
It takes a lot of work to perfect the planting charts included here. To create these charts, we look at clusters of the most common average frost dates for a given area and estimate how many weeks make sense to plant seeds before or after the last frost. It’s a bit tricky, and it’s all about...www.westcoastseeds.com
Garlic is easy to grow as shown in this ancient pic
Plant garlic in OctoberTo late i think for garlic?
Acording to the climate guy's april will be colder than normal and predict temp. will return to normal
as of May. But who knows.
You need to plan you need soil ready and seed stock-preferably the Best Largest cloves from some local producer-ready to plant as well; also some form of mulch to protect the plants over the winter I used to use seaweed but that may not be practical where you live if that's the case I'd use lawn clippings & dead leaves.Too late i think for garlic?
