Ok this would be huge for me. Work is nuts in the summer. I've got nothing but time come winter. Thanks!

Deer love tomatoes so if you know you have a lot of deer around probably will need it unless you plant enough to share. You need a tall fence though, orchard fence or whatever like 7 feet tall ideally, so if you can get away without it would be easier. Getting ready to build one, found out they love beets too, wife was going to experiment with beet sugar but the deer had other plans for them.

several lettuce varieties, two carrot varieties, sugar snap peas, onions, Dill, kale, cabbage is an experiment.I've actually started aeeding in my spring summer varieties today as we have had high 70's to low 80's for highs the last few weeks. It's better ti gamble with a late freeze/frost than battle the that and insects.

Working on 2025 garden now. Got onion seeds started inside and will be starting some other seeds on Monday. I start most of mine inside with grow lights because growing season can be rather short in Wyoming. Corn, peppers, jalapenos, and tomatoes get started on Monday when I take off my gig job.

If I start the 2025 garden thread now is there a way to block/stop @JShane from posting pictures of his garden just when all of us wanna be gardeners are thinking we are doing good at gardening? 
I walked past my frozen compost pile this morning and thought about how I need a good tractor bucket full on each garden this spring. It actually won’t be long now, it’s February, the sun doesn’t set until 5:28 tomorrow. It is troubling we have not had any snow to speak of. I’m afraid we will be watering early and often this year, but that’s an excuse to set up a decent watering system. Wally World is starting to get their gardening stuff out. I don’t buy anything from them, but it’s fun to see! I ordered a bunch of native plants for my prairie area last week!

I’ve always just put my starts in the window. Any grow lights you’d recommend?

The flourishing garden pics....way to rub it in. Our garden won't look like that until late June.

Buy yourself at least one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CK93G46H?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
You also need a timer to turn lights on and off in 12 hr cycles.
I also recommend one of these to keep soil temp for seed trays at right temperature.
If you want big onion bulbs like I do now, get the seeds started now and research Youtube for hints on growing big onions. I did that and got me a bag of onions hanging in a mesh type laundry bag still. If you keep them dry they can last close to a year.

Yeah but then you would have to deal with my pictures LOL. I got close to two bushels of jalapenos last year.If I start the 2025 garden thread now is there a way to block/stop @JShane from posting pictures of his garden just when all of us wanna be gardeners are thinking we are doing good at gardening?

I had a good jalapeño year last year too. Good thing because I was running low on pickled jalapeño’s and I eat those things on everything.

I’ve never considered starting onions. The last two years I’ve planted them outside on 4/12. It’s a coincidence that it was the same day, but they end up fine. Maybe not huge, but baseball size anyways.

I think the DEA is on the chopping block after the CIA so we will be fine.

With the very warm February we were having, I almost started planting some lettuce and peas but decided to wait a couple weeks. Does look like a return to normal temps this week so probably not a bad call.
I did plant two things over the winter though. One elberta peach tree and a fuyu persimmon tree. They're a couple years from producing still but I'm looking forward to when they do.

Only thing my garden is getting put in it right now is wood stove ash.
End of Feb or early March when the ground thaws the onion sets will go in then lettuce and spinach around middle/end of March.
