[QUOTE="Whiteguy492, post: 298531, member: 24112"] Anyone have any good experience with backyard gardening for vegetables and/or fruits? We tried it for the first time last year with minimal success. Whether it be planting too late or not having the right soil or combinations, and lots of weeds. I was hoping to get it right this year. I plan on doing more of a raised bed in the area I want to work to allow for better soil and not just hard ground "dirt." We have a lot of simple Burpee seeds, which I went through their website to see when we should start sowing. We had a lot of success with Roma/Cherry/"Vine" tomatoes. So we'll probably do that again. The corn grew well, but we have a huge issue with ear wigs and they were all over them which ended up turning us off and we fed the cobs to the squirrels. Planted Serrano, Jalapeno, Banana, and Bell Peppers to minimal success, maybe about 2-3 fruits per plant. Peas and Pole Beans went no where, strawberries went no where. Pumpkins we planted too late, and radishes we planted too late (80°+ radishes, nu uh!!). I was hoping to find a good garden planner, one that can help me plan where to plant everything and when. I looked at one, but it gave me like 50+ varieties of each plant and the planner was meh at best. Any thoughts? I'll be sure to post pictures too! [/QUOTE]
