We had a 2014 gardening thread and another planting trees thread. Figured it would be better just to have a general thread to share knowledge about all things yards.
I've learned stuff about growing things here in the desert from people all around the country. Post pictures and share your knowledge! [Reply]

One thing I learned when growing watermelon is you need a ton of space. That thing will just keep spreading!
Aside from herbs, total noob. Wife and I did a ton of research, though. We'll see how it goes.
Original plan was one watermelon and one cantaloupe, but could find any of the cantaloupe. Next year will order some online, and probably a different variety of watermelon - I really like sugar babies and black diamonds, but can't find those locally. [Reply]

We wont see any melon, squash or cuke plants for at least a couple of weeks. They don't like temps below 40F and wont do much growing til the soil temp is at least 65F. From mid-April on look out, we'll have all of those and more for sale. Recommended planting dates for most of these are after May 1st here in NE Kansas. [Reply]

Only if it really needs it. I was thinking less fertilizer, less work. But I have a watering system and a rider. So that blows that idea. May have to rake or get a bagger.
