Whos getting/has gotten their garden going yet? I tilled our garden the other week for Mom. Shes always out there battling against the weeds. We tilled the garden over in the fall, and then again a week ago; hopefully this will help with the bugs that eat the plants up.

I have everything in the ground other than some corn that I plant in 3 weeks spacings, so that I can harvest fresh sweetcorn over a longer period. have to re sow some beans as a critter chewed up some. Other than that, I am waiting or food to happen now. well run the cultivated through the rows now and then and hill up the corn and spuds once that time comes. Other that that I am pretty much done till harvest time.
Let's go Brandon

I'm ready but two nights of frost this week yet. The May full moon is late this year. I've learned to pay attention to that moon. Going to harvest a hemlock this weekend and some White Firs after that mess..

Got radishes, carrots, green onions, yellow onions, all seed in ground. Also put in 7 hills of cucumbers, 5 hills of zucchini, and a dozen roma tomato plants. Seedlings inside still not quite ready to plant are 9 pots of beefsteak tomatoes and 8 pots of peppers. Still got a few egg plants seedlings going too. Toying with putting in some green beans to pickle too. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

The home garden is smaller and lighter soil and further from the lake. That is where my potatoes, peas, onion plants, early sweet corn, beets, carrots, early lettuce, radish and spinach got planted April 29th. This year I dug fairlly deep trenches and put in 3-4 inches of compost about 1 foot wide, covered with soil and planted and covered the seeds. I hope this helps in in-row weed control as well as nutrition. Sure takes a lot longer to plant! I am planning to put down 8 inch wide black fiber strips when the plants are up and growing. All the set plants and later corn, vine plants etc. go in the other garden. Most are planted around mid-May here which is still earlier than what many do around here. Will plan to do some cauliflower, cabbage, carrots etc. from seed in July and have the crop grow until freezing in mid-October.

My primary garden is nearly all planted for the first round. 60 Tomatoes, 60 Peppers, 30 cabbage, 30 cauliflower, 30 Broccoli, onions, picklebush cucumbers, cushaw squash, and zucchini. I still need to plant my watermelon, corn, beets, turnips, & another round of radishes. The 2nd garden is tilled, I'm just waiting for it to dry up a bit. We have had over 3" of rain in the last week and 3 more days of rain predicted. I will soon plant pumpkins, squash, muskmelons, & overflow of whatever I have extra of.
