I can smell that dirt from here bankfish, looking good. This is a new plot, correct?

Jaime, gotcha on rd 2 of mowing then tilling. It's taking everything I can muster to not till it, will need to see how the crimping goes lol.

Correct, at my buddies house. Have to get to my original one and till so I can get potatoes and onions planted.

 

[Bankfish]

Cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, kale, lettuce, snow peas, red beets and radishes in the ground tonight.

Another .6" of rain yesterday morning, I don't want to go out and check again after this mornings storms. The wet corner is currently a great frog mating spot, meanwhile I feel like Maximus when walking thru the other 7 rows. The pumpkin patch is in the far RH of the picture, its winter rye is about 80% height of the main garden. Both should work well to create the weed mat Im looking for. The wet area of the garden will be tilled when it dries out.

My indoor herb garden. I’m still underwater outside.

We're off and running at Shoestring Acres.

 

[Bankfish]

Cut and dusted 25lbs of seed potatoes to plant Fri. Also a couple bunches of Vidalia and Candy onions.

Seedlings are off and running. I like what I see in the sample crimped area in the garden to lay down a nice thatch/weed barrier. I just walked on it, will see if it rebounds this week. This will allow me to know how much heavier I need to go to make it work.

 

[Bankfish]

150' of potatoes in and about 200 onions. Beans and more to be planted tomorrow

 

[bowhunter1023]

Hit mine with the tiller one more time tonight. I'll be ready to plant mother's day weekend per usual.

 

[Bankfish]

5 kind of cucumbers planted today and trellised, plus some Lebanese squash. Rest of the garden doing well.

 

[Bankfish]

44 tomatoes, 32 peppers, 6 zucchini, 6 yellow squash planted at buddies house today. Going to the other garden tonight to plant more tomatoes and beans.

Transplanted tomatoes for the first time - they’ll be here until they go in garden.

Planted a short summer cover crop to follow my mowed fall cover. I’ll terminate it all with weed mats in a few weeks.

Prepping my raised beds on this very humid day started with me digging up 60 plus young hickory trees(just one bastard oak in the bunch, lol). Anyway I used a long spade shovel to dig up and transplant all throughout our wooded lot in the more sparse looking areas. If only a fraction live it would be time worth spent, IMO. I did this last year as well planting about the same amount. Anyway, the beds are ready for planting very soon.

The winter rye has reached eye level and I've begun crimping it down by hand with a t-post. It's slow going, but is therapeutic to nicely lay everything where it needs to go. I'm very pleased with the weed suppression so far, and hope it continues thru the growing season.

Some of the seedlings have graduated from the basement setup to start getting some sunlight and warmer temps, hoping to transplant into 3" containers this weekend. I'm ready to quit babysitting and get them in the ground!

Update on the mowed cover! Super happy so far!

They understood the assignment...

They get 3wks to do their thing naturally before she gets planted.

Dude you are killing it!!!! I’m jealous but also so happy to see the overs and chickens workin! You got this down!!!

Nice concept Adam. On my downtime I’ll need to play a little catch-up on your plan. My garden won’t get in this year due to my new job. I’ll live garden life thru you guys. I’ll throw a flat at my raised beds and plan for my ‘25 garden.
