  • minnesota garden in finally

    well hopefully there be no more frosts this year... in this pic we have cauliflower.

    *

    *
    2 rows of cabbage for kraut...there is some red cabbage on the end to the right.

    *
    tomatoes, some of them anyway, 24 plants in all.

    *
    sis did a fine job starting them from seed!!!

    *
    jalepenos, abts in the horizon hopefully.

    *
    my sis also started these for me from seed.

    *
    the fences i made from cattle panels, have a cupla muskmelon plants on one, various cucumbers, and pole beans planted. also planted are carrots, beets, radishes, pickling cucumbers, squash, and a cupla pumkins.

    *
    i had to include a pic of the trailer my mom gave me, was the first thing her and my dad bought in the late 40's when they moved out to thhe farm. turns out it is somekind of army jeep trailer. when i had it out front i had people stopping all the time to try and buy it off me. dont know what its worth but had a guy offer me 500 bucks for it. funny thing is i was thinking of getting rid of it. but now i cant seem to pull the trigger and sell it.

    *
    my lil orchard

    *
    and some pics of my little wild things growing in the lilacs on the edge of the orchard, they will be harvested this w/e.

    Nice looking garden you have going...

    I don't think I would let that trailer go if I were you. It sounds like it may have been WWII surplus and would therefore command a big price...

      erain, you might want to look here about your trailer... It looks to be made by Bantam for WWII and is highly collectible...

          Nice looking garden, Erain. I hadn't heard about the nail for cutworms. My mom used to wrap the roots in a small piece of newspaper to keep them away.

              I think your trailer is a lot newer than erain's. his appears to be a Bantam T3, not the sides of the trailer, yours are different,. Bantam was the original Jeep designer and the design was taken away from them and given to Willys and Ford because the government didn't think Bantam could produce them fast enough. so Bantam made a lot of Jeep accessories like the trailer..

                Nice garden, Erain. I would love to have all that room! Great looking plants your sister started, too. And yeah, don't get rid of that trailer.

                Enjoy those mushrooms this weekend!

                  excellent pictures :-)

                  Love the closups of the morels.

                  One thing I did notice, looks like you cut the morels at the stem - don't do this pluck the whole thing and cut the base once it's picked.


                  Otherwise the part that's left can rot back and damage the mycelium, which we definitely don't want !

                  IT's a solid rule of thumb for picking any mushrooms, pick, then cut never cut from the ground.


                  And are you sure just the two rows of cabbage for the saurkraut ?

                              my mom always did the nail thing too, it does work though.

                              well it aint close to what you and ALX have going on but i love my fresh veggies as well as canning and freezing for winter. this year i have those consteletto genovese as my main mater for canning. also planted are black krim, black from tula, persimmon, marcelano, cherokee purple, gary ibsen gold, piccolo cherry. i think it was last year you told me to try the tulas.
