It's been too long since I have posted anything on here. Garden project is coming along nicely. The top half of the garden is ready to plant. I finished tilling and furrowing the bottom half a week ago. We need to rake the lower half and continue picking grass out of the entire garden. I know this sounds like a daunting task considering the size of the garden plot, but with the number of people that we have had coming out to help, the work becomes a whole lot easier.
The rain has obviously been an huge blessing. I was thinking about how nice it would be to have seeds in the ground with all of this rain. But, by keeping us from planting, we have also not lost any plants from frost.
We will have water coming on Tuesdays and Thursdays. With the rain, we won't be needing water for another week or so. But the water will be there when we need it.
The garden seeder has arrived, so planting will be a breeze! Here is what we have for plants at this point...
Tomatoes!!!!! Lots and lots of tomatoes! We have approx. 200 plants. I got a deal on some from the nursery. Also Stephanie Vogel and I have a bunch of tomatoes sprouted at home. There are a number of varieties as well. We have anything from Beefsteaks to Romas to Cherry tomatoes.
