Thanks everybody that responded. There is no doubt in my mind that the garden will have to be expanded. I intend on putting the strawberries next to my greenhouse on the side where my greenhouse isn't. Then I intend on taking the space infront of the greenhouse/strawberry patch and flip it so...

I am definately going to at least double my garden this year. There are 5 of us all togehter; me, DH, twins that are 6 and my son is 9. Here is what I intend on putting in my garden. Spinach-Bloomsdale long standing Brussel Sprouts-Royal Marvel Broccoli-Premium Crop Leeaf Lettuce-Black Seeded...

Well I just notices thast we are rated for the same USDA temp zone. I may very well try your method.

That is a very neat idea. What temp does your soil get in the summer?

I just feel bad with them being outside in the cold and me being in my house all warm and toasty. That is the only reason. Their coop stays right at 50 degrees even when it hits 0 degrees outside. Their coop is bigger than my greenhouse so I know that the heater would not have any issues...

I got my seeds in the mail just now and I can't wait to start planting. I'm thinking about stealing the heater out of my chicken coop and replacing it with a heat lamp :hide and putting the heater in my greenhouse so I can start my seeds. I'm just happy :weee This is only my 3rd garden as...

I use the deep litter method in my coop using straw. However with my ducks sharing a coop with my chickens, the litter gets nasty quicker. I was wondering how to compost the mixture. I have a "typical black compost bin" that I use for grass clipping, leaves etc but I know I am losing valuable...

I have a 250 watt metal halide that I used on my reef tank that I disassembled a few months ago. Would that be too much light/heat?

Sounds interesting but I am soooooooooo happy my diaper days are done. But if it work, I may buy a package.

I've never heard of that. I'll have to look into it. Looks like another way for ahem "people in higher places" to junk our food up. I'm so glad I started growing my own food.

What is GMO? :hide

All my violets are under snow :( . Your's are pretty. Mine are really thick, almost like a ground cover where they are at.

My grandmother lived in Springfield MO (zone 5) and grew it all over the place. She made the best rhubard/strawberry pies mmmmmmmmmm

Ive threatened to take the heater out of my chicken coop and put it in my greenhouse and get everything started. I can use a heat lamp on the chicken, right? :P

That was a lovely story. I didn't mind it at all. It makes you think about how there is no guarantee about tomorrow. (And from my earlier post yes I meant Neon Splendor lol).

They dont last long enough around my house to try to sell :drool

Oh I like that Neon Star :drool

I do wish you well. I almost got some Brandywine tomato seeds but I decided to buy plants instead. I tried last year to start tomato plants by seeds and it didnt work for me. Maybe I need to read up on it some more. Although I did get a good surprise last year in my garden. When we began...

I ordered several things today that I have never grown. I ordered onion seed, potaotes, spinach, brocolli....lots of yummy stuff. I have never measured my garden but I know for a fact that it will need to grow this year. I plan on moving some things around to make more space like planting the...

Awesome. I ordered onion seeds in my collection this morning...Sweet Spanish
