Planning for Spring, 2013

the brassicas break down into sulfur based stuff- thats why the awful stink. Like Steph says... bugs and big go to the dump. Yay!!! Am home! and got 2 days to get garden cleaned tossed and poisoned (spinosad for fireants with boiling water)and scaped and planted.

I agree- GG, don't add those aphids to any compost- they will go forth and multiply !!!

Here's what I did today- converted half of my sewing room to my growin' room! I am pretty much ready to go when the calendar says I can. I have made charts of all my egg cartons and will try to keep it under control! I will put 24" flourescent lights undr each shelf when the sprouts come, and there's a ceiling fan that I run toward the ceiling to circulate the air. Wish me luck!

**For those of us who have moved from planning to starting, here's a new thread!**

Jo, you need to post your set up on the new thread!

My broccoli's still in the ground, although all it's producing right now are some little side shoots. I say "Little side shoots" cause they don't have a chance to get bigger. That's what I snack on while working outside. When they get pulled up, they go to the chickens.

I did get 3 new raised beds sets up. And am planning on 2 more. Or maybe just one more this year. I definitely want to have one for sweet potatoes. Now, I need to get the drip irrigation system extended to those beds.

Thanks, Guys!
