I wasn't going to plant a summer garden this year, due to me working out of town, but my job got shut down in mid March. Around here, you have to get planted as early in the Spring as possible, or the heat gets too bad in June/July. After sitting around with nothing to do for a month, I decided to get moving on growing something. First thing was to buy the tiller I posted about in another thread. We got the old garden site tilled, plus an additional 20 foot add on. The new dirt is unimproved, and is going to need lots of compost added as I go. First there was a "Rain Event" two weeks ago, so that set thing back again. I had started a bunch of seedlings on the front porch in Dixie Cups. This worked fine. The last few days, after tilling the garden up for the third time, I got the rows made, and a bunch of the seedlings planted. So far, Corn and Pole Beans are in the ground. Okra and Purple Hull Peas are next. Rains are supposed to start again today and tomorrow. Hopefully it will be a non "Event".
