zbigjeff thank you sir. It took a couple of years to get it there.

Be nice if I could get the garden prep finished. Frost last week, bit of sun over the weekend but was working at my son-in-laws new place putting in the utilities and two in poly water line. Then the deluges started Monday with the hail, suppose to be all week. Still got to get another load of dirt too.
johnsbrewhouse sounds like you’re hooked up. Good luck

cdavis You have always got the best. Looks like you have one of those tillers like I had on one of my tractors when we were still in Texas. It was a 6’ Italian Beast of tiller & you can see the nice beds they make. I sold all that, my truck, trailer, JD 95 & Bobcat 863 when I got transferred out here about 20 years ago or so. Lost my left arm! Wishing you the very best with that wonderful looking garden.
calldoctoday thanks. I do love my tiller it’s a life saver.

cdavis I had a small plot a couple years ago that I cultivated for about 10 years with sand, grass and fertilizer. It was superb and the product was over the top. Wishing you the same success.

We have got ours in with about 4 rows of green beans, a few maters, lots of peppers, about a half row of chard, maybe 6 hills each of Candy Lope, Squarsh, & Cucumbers, plenty of onions, a few more carrots & radishes. We are still plucking Kale, Collards, & Cabages too & will plant a few okra soon too. I am going to try some Red Okra again. Has any of you all tried any of that Dr. JimZ Chicken Soup for the Soil?

mrobisr Been using them for years with our pepper & tomato plants. Gives us a 2-3 week head start. (At least when the weather cooperates. No hard freezes, Spring blizzards or heavy hail. )

Plants are coming along. Did some transplanting today. Still waiting for the warmer days. We have had a couple of opportunities to set them outside, but not many.

RON PARRISH It’s great that yours is successful. I just couldn’t get the correct environment to produce my own. Good job.

zbigjeff These were pretty easy. I just built a 4x4 box out of 2x6’s in the woods behind the house and filled with spawn and wood chips
