Gardening

In Section: General Posted By: Spudman

Hey everyone!

So I started a garden this Fall. I put in five raised beds and filled them with good topsoil. In the spring I plan to plant the asparagus, raspberries, strawberries, grapes, and blueberries.

Where can I get the plants and what varieties grow best in Wisconsin's cool, short season? I am also interested in planting some veggies. Heirloom tomatoes would be great. Where can I get seeds and when is the best time to start the seeds indoors?

A lot of questions I know, but I would really like help in growing a successful garden. I figure the best experience is out there somewhere.

Thanks, Kevin Gardner (yes, this is my real name)

There are a bunch of wineries in Wisconsin that have free tours - I'm sure they'll be able to give you some tips for the grapes, and you'll get to sample the wines, too. Good luck!
 
It will take a couple of years for your asparagus to mature. You won't be able to harvest it during the first year.
