Just tore up our Zucchini patch last week, nice big garden bed open for some fall carrots.
Also plan to do some cauliflower, spinach and eventually garlic.
nice haulJust pulled my sweet potatoes from a 10-gallon fabric pot. No fall crops for me.
I rent, so it was difficult, but I managed to convince the owners their cherry tree was dead, chopped it down, diced it into cherry chips, and smoked some freshly caught king salmon with it.
Before the salmon, I tilled up the yard and built a 10'x20' garden box.
I built a sifter, and sifted 2' deep.
I used double-stacked 4x8's for the walls, cored them with 1 1/4" auger, and staked them with 1/2" emt.
This is my first time attempting to grow anything, so I bought a solar soil test kit and a few other things.
It didn't turn out like I'd hoped because I got a late start and there was a lot going on but I'm pretty proud of my zucchini, basil, corn, and cabbage.
Next year the whole Box will be full but for the fall crop this year is just gonna be a ton of spinach lettuce beets and carrots I hope.

I'm hoping to buy my first rent house in 2019. I'd kill to have a tenant like you lol.
Great stuff man
Seriously. Every house I leave is better than I left it.
When I moved in, that backyard was weeds, 5-6' high.
I'm not exaggerating when I say you could have had a classroom of 1st graders standing in the yard and not be able to see so much as the colors of their shirts.
I've got some pictures somewhere, But there was a pile of debris 10' around by 6 and a 1/2 feet tall laying in a pile. After I cleared it I found stairs and timed lights that went up to a gate opening, so I manicured it replaced the rotted wood, cleared out the debtis and filled with gravel.
I moved in with no refrigerator or washing machine both of which I have supplied.
There was no dining room light, none of the switches were grounded, the faucet was busted....all done.
I've painted the fence when it was graffiti'd and just yesterday the ivy that was growing over the sidewalk I cleared, as well as 100' of weeds down the entire sidewalk which took me about 6 hours start to finish.
Today it's the gutters, tomorrow pressure wash, then moss treat the roof.
Before & after, my dime.
Kinda looks like a normal sidewalk eh?
City wouldn't do jack.
This next one, was the discovery under the debris, thought to be hillside.
One at a time a replaced rotted pieces from tossed out lumber from a construction site.
Then threw in some temp stones.
Needs attention, I know...
I've changed all locks and doorknobs, installed garage lights and front/back motion lights, security system, replaced 2 sets of blinds, fixed 3 sets, fixed the washing machine when it broke, toilet seat, garage door opener, doorstops, lights....what else??
They're of Cambodian descent, great family.
But getting anything out of them is like pulling teeth, so...

Damn those look amazing.
Canadian govt finally has seeds on its website so the green light is flashing for everyone to have up to 4 plants per household.
The door have been opened to using any seeds as the govt cant prove what strain your plants are... but what they currently have available on the BC website are:
1. The Bakerstreet cultivar is an indica-dominant THC strain. Its dense and deep green buds are highlighted with ochre-hued pistils and covered with trichomes. Terpinolene is the terpene that gives this strain its scent of juniper. 15-24%THC / 0-0.7%CBD
2. Argyle (Nordle) is an indica-dominant strain with a balanced THC-to-CBD ratio and low to medium THC potency. Argyle's verdant green buds are quite dense and are accented by orange hairs. The terpenes myrcene and caryophyllene give Argyles aroma clove-like notes, layered with more earthy hints from the complexity of myrcene. 2-10% THC & CBD
ARGYLE SEEDS
Any thoughts on the seeds.
I have both outdoor beds, space for plants in pots or bails and a greenhouse.
Oh and the garlic is already sprouted with all our good weather. Should be a good batch this year!
Thinking of planting some greens and radish this weekend if the weather cooperates.

those pics were my plants when young
I ended up using a ladder to harvest them...they were like 8 feet
As for seeds Post in the Weed related thread...I just use random seeds like a moron and usually clones(that are mislabeled)
Papa chignon and jason know much more about seeds and even your climate maybe
See all the holes?
It's such a sad sight when they start attacking and there is nothing you can do.
diatomaceous earth dusting will helpSee all the holes?

start early when there is nowhere to hide
I did this last year and it cut way down on the leave bitting little bugs that attack most types of leaves
it does kill many beneficial insects also, so it is a catch 22
Oh yes, they shredded my cabbage(hahaha) but my head was goodSee all the holes?
