usually somebody on here starts a garden thread .i haven't seen any lately so i'll start.
fresh spot (30 x 100) in my front yard got tilled up and added 250lb dolomite added. layed out 9 rows. got the garden peas and onions planted on march 1 (too late for potatoes) . kind of a late start but it was fresh tilled sod so i had to work with it until it was ready. the rain is also slowing down progress. finally got the squash, blackeyes, and purple hull in on good friday. lady peas and string beans will be planted as soon as the ground dries up a bit.
yesterday a run to the nursery (36count tray was $14) got tomato, bell, banana, cayenne, habanero, black beauty and will plant them this afternoon. i'll post some pics later. anybody else doing anything this year?

Got our 40x40 going and the plants are doing well. 18 tomatoes, countless peppers, squash, zookeene, okra, and egg plant. Trying one row of corn and some sunflower to help pull the bugs away from the veggie plants. May be an old wives tail but we shall see. Hit em with some 12-12-12 about a week after planting and it is helping alot!

I started one this year after years of not doing one. Defiantly a down size from the one I had before that was almost an acre. I got 3 of these this year and filled them with mushroom compost. My 3 year old daughter loves it!! I guess that's what matters most

I'm way behind. Spot is filled, started some seeds a while back but they're about to die from sitting in the tiny starter trays for so long...

I know nothing about farming but that is impressive!!!

 

[jpwalnuthill]

16 rows of peas about 100 feet long, 22 beds of squash, 9 beds of cucumber, bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, egg plant, and 6 tomato plants in my old compost pile. Those 6 plants will make more tomato's than my family and neighbors can eat. Still have some room to plant something else. just trying to decide what.

110 tomato plants in chicken litter. Replanting 30 of them today that look like shit from too much rain. The rest are already growing like crazy.
