    my garden

    So garden is roughly a 1/4 acre, something like 10200 sq ft ish. I have in it 97 potato plants, a nice strawberry patch, dill patch and blackberry patch. Those 3 are along 1 boundry. Potatos are 3 rows. Then I have 1/3 row of yellow onion and 2/3 row of carrot. got a coupe row of peas and beans, 4 rows of corn, row of lettuce, row of grape tomato/delicious/romas. Then there is 3 mounds of pumpkins, 2 mounds of watermellons, 2 mounds of cantaloupes, and 6 mounds of cucumbers. I thinks that all I planted. Gonna put herbs in pots today when I get home. Gonna be freezing and canning a lot this fall I think. Prolly give a lot of it away. Yesterday me and my 8 year old grandson spent the whole day in the garden. He was there for over 8 hours and worked like a rock star with me. I was there a total of 12.5 hours weeding and planting. I got no tiller so all the weeding was done by hand. Earlier in the soring I did borrow a friends tiller and went thru it once before I planted the taters and onions.



    OOO I planted the taters and onions a couple weeks ago. they are already up and HUGE!!!

    I also planted scallions.

    ttyl.

    Hey what crop do you rotate with the potatoes? I'm about to harvest mine.

    So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.

    Most anything for a late crop. Beans corn, peas, onions if you have enough season left. Cole crops.
