Early spring garden update with blueberries, and root vegetables
A few weeks into planting the carrots, radish, onions and other root vegetables alot has changed. All of the radish perished but one, it seems whole radish must be planted to survive. Though that one radish is doing very well, about 30 to 60 days into its growth ill check on its progress underground.
The carrots are doing good as well, most have taken and its amazing I just used cut off carrot tops to start new plants.. Now I wait and see what forms under the ground. I hope ill have clusters of carrots by fall.
A muscadine vine is growing on the trellis and making great progress since being planted a year ago. I hope my plant and my neighbors plants will pollinate each others and produce scuppernong.
The onions planted seem to be doing well, I wonder if ill just get the greens on top or if I wait will it produce onion clusters under ground.
My blueberry bushes produced alot of berries this year, making for a promising yield as long as the birds dont get them all. It appears the bees have greatly increased the pollination of my berries as it appears every single flower became a berry.

MY father had the green thumb and took great care of his garden and it always did well, , I have never had that much luck, but then agaiun I never had the time I should have put into it maybe when I retire I will try again
yours seems to be doing well for the most part, good luck with it
@tattoodjay
Maybe when you have the time to invest in the garden you can then reap the fruits of your labor, but yes it requires consistency and to watch for pests and other things stressing the plants.
Hope one day you can grow like your dad did. Thanks alot.
Time will tell I guess a lot will depend on what we end up buying and moving into with I our budget, but I am hoping it will be a place with at leas room for a small garden of some sorts so I can at least try and grow some things for ourselves :)
your video is not working , i play it for 2 seconds then it's stopped

Growing your own blueberries? Now there's something really special! Did you plant your onions from seeds or sets? Dad had always sworn by sets for good, strong results. E x
Posted using Partiko Android
@eveningart yep, these bushes are about 4 years old now. They do real well and I have two varieties. Over the winter I collect onions that start growing and then place them in the ground after the frost is done, so guessing that's simular to sets. This is my first attempt with 3 onions and 2 garlic plants. We will see how they turn out later this year.

How exciting- I don't think we can grow blueberries here in the U.K.... maybe I'm wrong though- I'd love to be able to. And yes- that's sets- cool. Look forward to hearing how they do. I grew Elephant garlic a couple of years ago. Massive things and a lovely mild flavour x

@eveningart
Oh gotcha, blueberries are fun to grow.. They dont need much space and after a few years they start really producing alot of berries. Its the birds you need to worry about.
I know a local farmer growing Elephant garlic, I prefer that kind as it produces large clusters and its easy to work with.
Will do, ill post updates as they come along.
I'm really excited to see if those carrots take off! I love creatively gardening...well I guess it isn't as creative as it is resourceful!
@theinnerblocks
Me too, in a few months Ill know how well it worked out. Its hard not to dig around them to see whats going on but I dont want to disturb them. Yeah I think I am being quite resourceful using carrot scraps, I did not expect it to grow honestly so this is really fun for me.
Im planning on joining your show next Tuesday at 4pm EST. And ill try out that tag, though your discord link is expired.
I’m not sure the variety of my blueberry plants but they don’t produce like that!! WOW!! Plus I only have 2 and they are pretty small still.
School me on this scrap planting deal you got going on. I know potatoes can be just cut and basically tossed in the ground. I have a whole box of beets and carrots and 28 strawberry plants. But I have never planted any of them using that scrap method. All from seeds.

I think my bees helped with my blueberry production this year, I had so many bees pollinating them this year it was amazing. I set up homes for them near by so they go back and forth between my flowers and their homes. If your plant is only a year or two old it may be a few more years before they really produce.
So during the winter with the freezes going on outside I would save my carrot scraps. When I roast carrots I cut off the leafy end with an inch or so of carrot meat on it. Then place them in a shallow dish of water by the window and a few weeks later I got leaves growing. Then a week later I got roots coming out of the cut carrot scraps.

My radish did not seem to do well from scraps, just my carrots and potatoes as you mentioned. Yeah I cut a sprouted potato into a bunch of pieces, let them dry out for a day or two and then put them in the ground.. Was real easy.
Oh cool, I had a bunch of strawberry plants but then they just disappeared one year. They were taking over the area and I really loved them. It was hard getting to them before the ants ate them though.
