dyk I think I am going to take the plunge and help Abigail plant a garden - vegetables and maybe some strawberries?


dyk she has for years now (and yes I do mean years even though she's only 5) wanted to grow and eat food that she can pick


dyk she's our woodland creature remember?


dyk so we have TONS of space, Sean can rent a tiller to get us started... but how to decide what to plant and when? I have a link to www.dinnergarden.org and there is a cool chart of how to plant, depth, distance, germination temps.... but I am not sure what our weather is good for?

dyk okay, I think I understand this part:


3) Warm weather crops


a. These crops need daytime temperatures above 60 F degrees, and nighttime


temperatures no colder than 50 F degrees. They like temperatures between 70 to 90 F


degrees. Frost will kill them, and cold wind can damage or kill them. In areas where


temperatures exceed 95 F degrees regularly during the summer, plan on planting crops like


summer and winter squash, melons, okra, and amaranth, as they like really hot weather.


Plants like beans, corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, and peppers don’t grow well in


extremely hot weather.


dyk so, a spring garden for us (planted in March-June) would be the beans, corn, tomatoes, cucmbers, eggplant and peppers that don't grow well in extremely hot weather - which is our summer


dyk so then in summer, (mid-June to September) we plant the squash, melons, okra


? yes ?

dyk if we plant in the next 2-3 weeks we can do:


Early Spring Garden


brocolli (65 days to harvest)
carrots (70 days to harvest)
peas (65 days to harvest)
spinach (65 days to harvest)


dyk then we would plant:


Late Spring Garden


corn (70 days to harvest)
tomatoes (65 days to harvest)
eggplant (60 days to harvest)
peppers (70 days to harvest)
beans (snap) (60 days to harvest)


dyk and then the summer garden would be:


summer squash (50 days to harvest)
watermelon (85 days to harvest)
melons (85 days to harvest)
