Spring is here! I have been busy the past few days getting my plants started for the growing season. Growing up, my mom always had a garden as her mother did before, I was the one who helped her get the garden ready for planting.
All of my plants have been transplanted and are getting ready to be put into the ground in a few weeks. The soil in my garden has been enriched and turned over and is waiting to be planted. The soil has been treated with organic matter of rabbit manure and compost and will be turned over again prior to planting. Organic gardening is a great way to go as I do not use anything harmful on my plants.
I collect rainwater as much as possible so that I do not have to use treated (city) water. I feel that the plants grow better and tastier this way. With the combination of all the above, I generally have a very good yield on my plants with unbelievable size. Last year I had beefsteak tomatoes the size of softballs and cucumbers reaching 16 to 18 inches long. Organic is definitely the way to go during growing season.

Hydroponic gardening on the other hand I do mostly in the fall and winter seasons. Most of my hydroponic plants are taken from cuttings from my most productive plants from my organic garden. I have been doing this for about ten years now, and am still growing from a few of the original plants from that time. As a matter of fact, we were eating hydroponic tomatoes in January and February that were the size of softballs and we had several that topped the two pound size. Not all crops are suited for hydroponic gardening, but more are becoming available all the time.
