Well I thought I would start a garden thread for 2026. I always enjoyed the Les garden posts over the years and learned alot. Not much to look at here yet. In Ohio I really don't start anything until after mothers day due to early spring cold, frost, wind, and rain. So This weekend I thought I'd get a picture of me getting started as I pulled the tomato cages from last year. This is the time of year you don't know to have your tractor setup to mow, spray, or till and you have to be ready to do any of the above knowing it just depends on what the conditions are when you get home from work. Were still drying out from a rain last week but its about time to start hitting it. Weather wise I should have my hardy cold items out already but I haven't prepped anything yet and am just getting started.

Day 1: - 30-60 minutes, wreck last years gear out of the way. Prep site. Usually a wet day waiting for it to dry out. Its cold late this year.
