All the garden boxes have the same thing in each box. A level of sticks and debris, a level of compost, and a top level of garden soil and compost.
On April 01 I’m going to take a hoe and loosen everything up in the boxes mixing in a new layer of fresh leaf compost from the backyard, a layer of black cow shit, and a small sprinkle layer of 15-5-10 and let it bake for 30 days and go in with my seeds and transplants on March 5th that’s my prep plan
As for anything going in bags (tomatoes and summer squash) they’ll get used Happy frog soil amended with black cow shit and backyard leaf compost and an added sprinkle layer of 15-5-10 to also bake for 30 days before transplant.

They’re calling for 50s and 60s over the weekend here with 30s at night. This is very typical for March in Maryland. Extremely cold nights and decent days. April and May is nothing but high winds and lots of rain for two consecutive months. June is when it all settles down.

No maam. I actually get my onion starts from the local farm stand owner. I just enjoy growing everything. They store good through the winter and i give tons to family. I grow WAY more tomatoes than i could ever eat. What i dont eat i give away to anyone who will take them. After a little while they have to go to the compost pile. My neghibor grows a huge garden and he gives me what he doesnt plant on top of what i grow. My main thing i love is sweet peppers. My garden is always full of them. I will make a thread on my garden and tag you in @Lostgirl

So I was out inside cleaning the garden area just doing a little inventory check and I took a baby shovel into my 6x6 garden bed and I noticed I had a ton of roots growing an inch under the soil I keep digging and digging and it’s everywhere. The soil is very light and airy just the way I like it but it’s filled with roots.
The roots are very consistent in color and seem to be all connected not like it’s from something That grew last season. Thoughts?

I think its either remnants of a plant from last season or a some random seed left by a critter.
We get them in our beds too.

I’m pretty sure I can de-root the stuff in about an hour by hand with a hoe.
That looks a lot like a Leprechaun in camouflage. Follow it where-ever it goes this weekend, you may find it’s pot-o-gold
