re: 2026 Spring Garden Thread

Raised beds are my only option in rocky NW Arkansas.
My wife planted onion bunches in bags a few days ago. Being it is still cold up here I have the bags on a wagon. I take the wagon out into the sun when it gets warm enough. They are under a plant light on cold cloudy days.
She will be planting her pepper and tomato seeds this week and they will be under a plant light.

First thing is do you have the skills to build it. I built a big shed years ago, but I could not do it now due to my age. I would work up an estimate to compare it to a pre-built one. Factor in your time to build it. Don't forget your roof trusses.

I loaded and unloaded 60 1cf bags of garden soil today. As I was finishing up someone from Lowes walked up to see if I needed any help. He made a comment that he hopes he could do this when he is 74 years old.

Yea Walmart has plans for mulitple data and logistic centers. Bidding on several of there future projects. One we just completed near Baytown in the warehouse district off 565 is massive. about 180 employees. Next one to come online will prob be Miss/Alabama and then another in NE Texas (Dallas area. Arkansas project is 2/3 years away but will essentially be the biggest and house everything. looking at building footprint alone to be more than 280 acres.
Walmart has been working on Walmart City inside Bentonville for a few years now. They are moving their main office there. There will also be apartments and restaurants there. They are getting way too big.

I am wondering if Walmart is doing the same thing. They are buying a lot of wooded acres in far NW Arkansas. There is also a huge water line coming from Beaver Lake heading in that direction.

It should be coming up soon being they are stocking up the parking area. Their next weekly ad comes out on the 19th. I need about 50cf of garden soil, some mulch and some river rocks.

I got a letter yesterday from Arkansas State Police saying the FBI rejected my fingerprints. It said to get a second set run and if this set fails also the FBI will research my name only. I went today for my fingerprinting and they did a lot better than the first one's did. I had so much lotion on my fingers the guy doing the fingerprinting had to wipe the screen after each set.
Keeping fingers crossed!

My wife will be starting tomato and pepper seeds in a few weeks. These will be under a grow light.
I put 13-13-13 fertilizer in her existing beds yesterday prior to getting some rain. Once the garden soil comes on sale at Lowes/Home Depot I will start filling up her three new raised beds. Where we live at in NW Arkansas the ground is to hard to to many rocks. She now will have two 4'x8' beds, three 4' rings and one 3' ring plus five 5 gallon bags.
She will be planting onion starts in the bags soon also. The bags will be on a heavy duty wagon where I can bring them inside the garage when the temperature gets to low.

I thought about putting up a house, but I don't have many mosquitos. I guess this is because I have bats.
I had a huge purple martin house years ago and the only thing that got into it were wasps.

I am thinking of something else that interfered with my fingerprinting is I was freezing cold in the building. The heat was at the back of the room and I was in the front. I get cold easy and I was shivering during the class.

Our Yorkie knows when to wake up, when it is bed time and most importantly when it is time to eat.

Last year I started getting seeds from LINK . They are reasonably priced and fairly quick to ship out. I just got a bunch of sweet starter onions that I will be planting in a few weeks. I plan on putting them in five gallon garden bags which will be on a heavy duty wagon. I will have them out in the sun, but I will bring them into my garage if the temperatures get to low. Once the frost danger is gone the bags will be put into one of my garden areas.
I am in the process of fencing in a second area to keep the deer out. This one will have two-four foot rings for cucumbers and cantaloupe. I enlarged and installed another 4'x8' bed for my wife. In the main bed she has two 4'x8' beds, a four foot ring and a three foot ring. There is ample space for other containers if she needs them. This year we are planting some cream peas in one of the larger beds.
Being we are in NW Arkansas we have to wait a little longer. I do the grunt work and my wife does the planting. She plans on starting her pepper and tomato seeds the first of March. These will be under a grow light. She normally buys plants, but she wanted to try seeds.
Last year she had to give away tomatoes and cantaloupes being she had more than what she could handle. Our neighbors love her garden.

The progressive lens are in the eye glasses.
I checked my two handguns and neither one will work with a RMR red dot.

Te CC permit instructor mentioned that people with progressive lenses on their glasses would benefit from this type of red dot.
How do these mount onto the handguns? I am assuming the handgun would need some type of rail, but what do I know. I have a S&W M&P Shield 9mm and a SAR9 9mm. I searched and I did not see many handguns with a rail on the top.

I checked my game camera (which is in my lot) and I had nightly pictures of does, but no bucks. They know when I put out some more corn. Early in the season I had some huge bucks.
