Re: *March Gardening Thread*
I am going to start seeds in egg cartoons using chicken light for her etc the 15th. Our sunniest side of the house has only 2 Windows and putting anything out during the day will be destroyed by chickens.
Question.... I have a male mullberry tree on the south side of my garden. So last yr I planted salads...etc in that area, nothing grew. I have no other areas I want to put a garden, so moving it isn't an option, just trying to figure out the 20x60ft area that gets shade, the other 3/4 of the garden did well last yr, especially corn and potatoes Advertisement

![]() The mulberry tree, ugh. I have one near my garden too. The problem is that they have extensive, extensive root systems. They will rob any and every garden bed you put out. I tried to barrier the bottom of my raised beds and they got around that too. They destroyed tomatoes one year - and everyone knows how hard that is!! If you want to grow under that tree, I'd plant in pots. The new trend of using painted cattle waterers is cute and would probably work. ![]() |

Re: *March Gardening Thread*
Rain's a coming' here. Couple of day's worth of thunderstorms and hopefully... no snow flurries. My strawberries and berry canes have been responding well to the warm weather and I would hate for snow to set them back now. I just planted my asparagus crowns yesterday too.

Re: *March Gardening Thread*
Gonna revamp our chicken ideas, move them to garden, then do new area for garden. We have a back acre that would be perfect for garden, but we are to far for hose to reach. We have a pond near it, how and what could we buy/build to have water pumped to garden. Cheapest and easiest ideas?

I think my strawberry plant is dying. It is very wilted and sad looking. Our weather has been so extreme here--high 80s during the day but then down to 30s at night (gotta love the desert!). I'm wondering if the cold nights are doing it in.
