How's your clandestine garden? I'm surprised how well mine is doing! Even though I don't water or weed the plants the clandestine garden isn't far behind the regular garden.

I just got back from my honeymoon and my backyard garden went clandestine one me :(

Took me two hours just to weed out the onions and peppers. I still have another 4 - 8 hours of hard work yet to get her back into shape :'( On the upside the corn is getting close to 2 feet high now :D

You are talkin' about the garden, right?

Rebel - Exactly where is this clandestine garden? I found one and before I turn it over to the lost and found I just want to make sure it isn't yours.

Took me two reads before I got your joke. At first I was - "What is he talking -- OHHH!"

Yes I am talking about the garden ><

As for her I have the sense that she is training me, but I am still not sure.

She is, trust me. It's inherent in a woman. They learn how to train men at a very early age. I think there are classes or something that they attend.

Pay attention class. This is a man. Notice how his knuckles drag the ground?

Thanks for all the well-wishes guys! I hate to semi-hijack the thread.

The "clandestine garden". It's puny compared to the other garden. I don't think it'll make much. This experiment is a bust in my opinion. A garden needs care w/ water, weeding and fertilizer.

If you had a secret garden that you took care of then yes but, without the care I would say a big NO.

It all depends on what and where you plant.

Rebel - what happened between post 1 and post 18? Did you plant the same stuff in your clandestine garden and your regular garden? There are so many plants that become very invasive. I would think if you focused your untended garden on those items that do well in the wild - many berries come to mind - that you may have more success.

Even tomatoes should do well IF you use the right tomatoe plants. I've never seen cherry tomatoes get beaten out by anything. Those blasted things can grow anywhere and will come back year after year if you allow any of the tomatoes to hit the ground.

Your right about the type of plants with some doing better than others. I should have given it more thought. I planted what I had extra of and those were onion and potato.
I wanted to see how they would do without any help.

There are lessons learned even when things don't work out so it was a good first try. Perhaps you might look for a more ancient version of a plant such as the Andean and/or Chilean potato rather than our more modern version.

And for true survival, remember to plant multiple versions. One of the reasons the potato famine hit Ireland so hard is because almost all the farms had begun to grow a single variety of potato and that potato happened to be susceptible to the potato blight. Had they remained diversified as they had been a few decades before then only a partial crop loss would have occurred.

Starting to plan for the next summers garden. Does anyone grow all winter....? Do you have to use lights if you start in March.....?

My clandestine garden has a mole in it. Soon I fear infiltration by weeds.
