re: Gardening Thread

Every time I go to mine I say I'm taking a picture, but my hands always end up muddy and I leave my phone in my pocket. Here's what I have to-date, subject to change based upon 33 degree forcast for Wednesday morning, and possible hail tonight.

Close to 80 tomato plants, of differing varieties.

4 rows of corn (all rows 160-175' long each)

2 rows of potatoes

1 row bush beans

1 row cucumbers (1/2 burpless, 1/2 straight eights)

1 row squash (yellow crooked-neck, and yellow straight-neck)

1 row a mix of zucchini, eggplant, peppers

1 row of cantaloupe

1 row of watermelons in main garden

1 500' row of watermelon in a different field


I have 3 wires of electric fence around it (solar powered)

I have a 2" pump if needed to water from a pond right next to the garden

It's a family garden (me, brother, old man) share responsibilities on, but my pop is retired so he goes by every day. I go about 3-4x per week right now. My brother will go once stuff needs picking.
