To quote president trump, it’s gonna be yuuuge, the biggest, the best garden ever, we’re gonna produce more tomato’s than China, best garden ever.
I’m planning for 15 slicing/canning tomato and 15 cherry tomato plants, 15 sweet pepper and 15 hot pepper plants, 15-20 beans, 50’ row of radishes, 50’ row of salad greens, 4 each watermelon, honeydew, and cantaloupe, 2 pumpkin, 10 cucumbers, and then whatever else my kids decide they would like to grow.

It’s nothin to go through 25 or 30 radishes a day in our house, especially when it’s hot outside and the radishes are cold and crisp.....mmmm can’t wait!

How do y'all handle weed control? I'm not much on chemicals. So usually try hand weeding but just to time consuming. Thinking about trying the rolls of biodegradable paper this year Lots and lots of mulch, hand weed any that pop up through. I really dislike any sort of chemical. I blame agricultural chemicals for the fact that many of the kids I grew up with, me included, having extremely rare stomach/digestive diseases. I know 3 people who grew up with me that have a form of gastroparesis that will eventually kill them, several others with less severe digestive issues, and mine they can’t even diagnose. So I flat refuse to use chemicals of any kind in my garden.

Thinking about trying the rolls of biodegradable paper this year tiller/mini tiller....a hoe...and a mulching mower. I found a few years ago some of my garden does just as well if I don't till. Just dig a shovel wide area, plant whatever, and leave the width of my mower between rows. Don't have to tend with muddy rows, and way easy to run the mower down between the rows.

I grow 2 gardens each about 50 by 100. Mainly so I can rotate Tomatoes around and not get too much blight. But going to build a steel barn this year about 24 by 32 that may wipe out 1 garden. I have some black soil, bottom land that needs grubbed out to replace the 1 garden, but that will take a season to do. I am on a lake so I have to be careful when I turn new ground.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

I need to prune a couple apple trees. Going to try and propagate a couple from the cuttings. NOT turning the hobbies into a job, been there.
If smart I'd find more local folks to trade with. Most gardeners have extras.
If only we could produce canning seals..
