***Official gardening, landscape and yardwork thread***
We had a 2014 gardening thread and another planting trees thread. Figured it would be better just to have a general thread to share knowledge about all things yards.

I've learned stuff about growing things here in the desert from people all around the country. Post pictures and share your knowledge!

I’m thinking about renting an Auger. I have 14-15 (110 ft) holes to dig. Probably doing most of the work myself.

It’s supposed to be a bit for the next few days so I’m hoping it’ll soften the ground up.

Post hole digger is $50. I’m assuming it’s going to take a full day and overnight to dig, add 4x4’s, concrete and let them get set.

If I have 8’ posts do I dig 2 ft down and concrete them in? Or dig the 2’ throw in concrete, then the post and finish with more concrete? As to not have wood direct contact to the soil.

For 14-15 I wouldn’t rent an auger. Just call that your workout for the day.

I’m not sure it matters much. Just be sure you get treated posts and you’ll be fine.

I did a garden for years. Too much work, and there are others that do it better.

I hit the local farmer's markets for fresh produce from May through October. Way better and cheaper than the expense of doing it myself.

Depends on rainfall. But I guarantee far less often than I would have to.

I do have some pictures from early last week. I have one cherry tomato plant that produces literally thousands of cherry tomatoes in a year here. It's ****ing massive. 6 feet tall and close to that wide. It just produces and produces and never stops until about late June. Plan is to keep it alive through the summer and it will continue producing again come September and all through fall and early winter. Others have told me you can keep a single cherry tomato plant alive for years here and it will continue producing.

And the early girl tomato produces very well too. Lots of great shaped tomatoes with great color to them.

That's a 3 year old grapevine that I grew along the pool fence. First year it's been loaded with grapes.

I just covered them a few days ago.

I was given the idea to use wine gift bags or mesh drawstring bags. I grabbed these off Amazon and they work well.
