2016 Garden Photos

jhp · January 5, 2016

We're only 5 days into 2016 and I'm months away from digging in the dirt. I wanted to start this thread so I have a place to put my garden photos as they happen.

Technically, these are from the 2015 garden, but were just harvested yesterday. This is my first time harvesting into January. 2015 was my best carrot year ever! We eat a lot of carrots all year round, so I planted more this past summer. These will not go to waste.

I've finally figured out the best way to grow carrots in my garden. I have raised beds. I grow 25 to 50 tomato plants per year in raised beds(sometimes maybe more if you count containers and earth boxes). I use soaker hoses to water my tomato plants. So I put carrot seeds along the soaker hoses on the outer edges of the tomato plants. Tried to sow thinly, and watered in, but did not bother to thin or do anything else the rest of the season.

Happy New Year!
Jen

Is that eatable?
