I think I'll give it a try, too- switching from strawberries to garlic. we've got a good place to re-home the berries and I'm happy to now be able to use the old strawberry beds for more veggies!amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09481345314712596782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-82226812688905383662014-09-12T21:59:08.083-04:002014-09-12T21:59:08.083-04:00No, those strawberries are in their third and four...No, those strawberries are in their third and fourth year. We are doing a cull, and switching up the beds. I am going to take some runners and plant them in the new bed, and we will add some new plants as well in the spring. I have read that the garlic/strawberry switch works well, so we shall see. Once I move the strawberries to the new bed, they will stay there for another four years, and then I will switch them up again.

I am both confused and intrigued. (we have two raised beds for strawberries and regularly take runners from them and spread those around, but the beds kinda always just stay the strawberry beds. though I've heard every so often you really need to cull the older plants and just leave runners- is that what you are doing? amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09481345314712596782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-20120688244347095652014-09-12T18:58:36.023-04:002014-09-12T18:58:36.023-04:00Thank you my dear friend.

Ours started out great but aren't looking so lovely now, in part due to the end of the season and also in part to the fact that I think something got to our squash. It started out doing just fine and then the vine died and that was the end of that. I do think we need another bed next year and we surely need more flowers for our pollinator friends. A cold frame would be lovely too! I still think we have so much more to learn about raised bed gardens but for our first year (of raised beds) I think we did great! I have to get the two beds that are done pulled and put to sleep for the winter (hopefully this weekend) and then we can start dreaming of planting season 2015! xoShelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010097249579515249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-2492437714162724562014-09-10T16:45:03.135-04:002014-09-10T16:45:03.135-04:00So exciting to see your pumpkins!

That is one thing I would like to do in the next couple of years is put in a cold frame and try some late season stuff. Make sure you let us know how they are working out.<br /><br />Our garden is in a bit of a lull right now too as we wait for the brussels sprouts to be ready for harvesting.
