The 2023 Garden, Landscape, and Other Stuff Thread……

We didn’t have much of a winter here this year, so it’s time to get this going for the year.

My pineapples lived the winter in my barn and just came outside yesterday.

Plums, satsumas and blueberries are blooming now. Peaches bloomed about 2 weeks ago.

ok, ok ... pineapples and peaches !

I have a big bag of potting soil with great potential here at the cabin ... ... and will say how delightful the March sunshine feels while Daisy and I are out hunting snowmobiles on the lake. Finally, she caught three this winter - once she figured out that, although she can't catch them, they will stop if she stands in their path!



Thanks drj211 for starting up 'gardening' for 2023

My raised bed has had it going to replace it with a galvanized bed .

No honeybees around again this year, but the bumblebees have it covered!

Looks like time to get some plants in the ground!

Some nice looking 'tilth' there LEGION 12 ... what's in the mix if I may ask?

I've been watching the use of galvanized raised beds for a while ... looking forward to following this one

I just dug a trench in the old bed to fit the new one , it's just the raised bed soil that's always been there . Just have to dig out for one more galvanized bed and add a little compost .

I was out working in my back yard and had this guy watching me.

Added a brick border around the beds next to the deck. Every year the beds expanded so decided to put a stop to that.
Our lettuce just popped up so next on the list is the rabbit fence.

Not sure how I'm going to do much yard stuff this year. Moved to Germany with the job and will be renting a duplex. We will see.

But it's time for stuff to bloom here. Lots of tulips up now, and most of the fruit trees are done.

From across many miles ... Beautiful colours ... Still very cold, wet, grey and grim here (central Ontario) but daffodils, crocuses have been bright spots. Hope you are enjoying new location with work.

Peaches and blueberries are doing great. I haven’t grown any vegetables in quite some time, so I threw some beans in the ground.

 

[Bastler]

I think I have onions growing in my compost.
