Organic gardening 2025

I'm going to try getting the henden/garden shed set up for my plants. I'm going to take my time getting my seeds started because it always seems like everything I pre-start dies after I put it in the garden.

I have noticed with my own gardening experience, that the plants/seeds that I just waited for some warm temps and planted directly in the outside ground rather than pre-grown inside faired WAY better!!! Don't fear - it's easier if you go directly to the outside garden at least in my zone! Most of my "starters" that I babied inside the house died!!!

plants that need warmth and the longer season get put out from starts (big onions, tomatoes, peppers). everything else (beans, peas), get planted when they need to - beans do best when it is at least warmer and the peas do ok if it is cooler so they can go in earlier. garlic is already in from last year so that was done on time.

Got the spinach lettuce cilantro kohlrabi pak choi and chives planted in the garden. I forgot that I tossed some carrots cauliflower broccoli Brussels sprouts radishes and arugula in a pot because I got started on some other chores and everything is going just fine.

Went to the nursery and got 3 more bags of soil to put in the big raised bed. I'm still trying to figure out how I want to make some beds from the pallets that I have but it's supposed to rain for a week starting tomorrow so I'll have to put that on the back burner for a bit.

Pallets now that's interesting. I have a lot our back and I was thinking of burning them

they can be pretty tough to break apart once they get old and the nails are rusted.

i don't recommend burning them because then you also have the nails to pick up.

Using a reciprocating saw you can cut the nails off and dismantle the pallets and then just start making raised beds. I'm thinking about making some into stair type beds and hexagon. There's a ton of information and videos on how to make raised beds from pallets on YouTube. If you get on Backyard Chickens look up Hugelkultre Raised Beds. The person that started it is @gtaus.

Thank you

You're welcome. I love knowing that if I have the knowledge that I can pass it on to someone else that can use it for their own things. I know that you can also make outdoor furniture with pallets. My husband's brother left a pallet bench here when he moved to Montana. I'm turning it into either a potting bench or a compost bin. Either way I win.
