I'll see if I can get some pics today. Managed to get through it yesterday with the hoe and tiller trying to get caught up on the weeds before the rain. Not as big as yours, I think about 50' X 110'.

Got some pics yesterday, 7-1. Three inches of rain and a lot of wind the night before worked things over pretty good, especially the middle planting of corn. Potatoes look great this year. I just planted last years left overs. On a low-carb diet so not sure what I'll do all of them.

I got 6 - 5 gallon bucket with the bottom cut out and sweet potato plant in each one, that gives us enough sweet potatoes for the year and a whole lot easier to dig. Planted acorn, spagetti and Winter squash along with sweet corn. I have a whole lot more flower gardens.

I usually end up with a few flowers in the mix! Bout done with the pea harvest, got a bunch this year. Greenbeans made over 50 pounds from the 2 short rows and first picking. In the next few I will harvest more of the early onions, and dig the early spuds. Sweet corn is setting ears really good , so we see how things go with that. ( Shameless,--I probably won't be needing your coons due to the fact that I got COYOTES!!! LOL!!!)--Did get the new woven wire fence up last week.--have the gates to install yet. Tomatoes are doing so--so, and look fair.--some green ones forming so time will tell. Summer squash are going big time, so have been getting my fill while they are tender and giving lots away. One year we used 10 earth boxes for a garden and had a lot of produce from them.--containers to work well!!---- watering is the hardest part and the most critical! thanks; ac fleet

I have 16 rows of sweet corn. First corn should be July 25. I planted may 4.
We have the ear worm problem here (Long Island), I spray with Bug-B-Gon or Sevin every 3-4 days. I wonder if that BT spray would work effectively instead. I used the Providence variety. Some say it is the best they ever tasted. That is subjective, but it is very good. I notice I can pick over a batch of it with about a 4 days window span. I give it away. People are starting to ask when is the corn going to be ready? I plow and disk with the the A/C 160, plant with a hand push Jr, cultivate with the C. Long Island has cold springs, with all the water around. If I plant in April, it usually turns cold and wet. Sometimes a batch planted 2 weeks later will catch up. Conversely, summer is stretched out. Question -has anyone found an early variety that tastes good, is worth planting? And really delivers on "early"? Is it early because it matures faster, but also can it take the cold? Also some pumpkins, water melons cantaloupe and sun flowers. 5/8 acre of blueberry. I almost OD'd on Blueberry this weekend! |

My first planting of Mississippi Pink Eye Purple Hull Peas is history. Sold all the pea crop from this first patch green shelled and washed for $5 a Quart. 20 ounces makes a quart.
Made over $2500. Talk about a cash crop . Lots of work for just 16 200 long rows. Wife and I split the pot for her part with the harvesting and selling Will start picking the next patch of 12 rows the end of this week. 2 more plantings after that. Room for a late planting where the first 16 rows are shredded and plowed under.

How do you keep the weeds outta the potatoes? Mostly grass invaded mine this year and took over in the rows.
i used some pre emergent on the sweet taders and it worked pretty well. |

OK I will have to take some pictures. Last ones I posted the ground was just turned over and we were trying to work in into shape to get some seeds and plants in the ground.
Update coming by tonight. Our weather usually keeps us from planting till about Memorial day. We were a few days after that when we planted. FYI plowed our little spot with the same 3 bottom AC plow I had used on the farm 50 years ago. This is a small garden about 30 x 60 feet (30 foot rows) zucchini, yellow squash, pickles, tomatoes, sun flowers, sweet corn beans and peppers. Seven rows of great lake Hybrids sweet corn. The crows got at it or it would be a little thicker. Couple rows of green beans too. A planted every thing with fertilizer and then put on some nitrogen a week ago. So far I am pretty happy with it. Cheryl picked up a lot of rocks too. This spot in the yard is much better for drainage.
