I figured MFP could use a garden thread. And my memory isn't what it used to be, and this is easier than me keeping a journal of what I plant when. Please feel free to add your gardening adventures.

Larro

I put my first seeds in soil on 2-9-15.

Then had my first sprouts on 2-15-15.

    On 3-8-15 I planted sugar snap peas, three kinds of green beans and acorn squash in the garden. {also purple and yellow onions} Bad Word was helping me decide which seeds to plant next.

    The pepper and tomato sprouts were big enough to transplant into cups on 3-9-15. By 3-18-15, hoping the frost was past, I put a few trays of them outside.

    On 3-24-15 Bad Word and I used recycled hay string to rig up something for the sugar snap peas to run on.

    I used my 1LP {Larro Powered} push plow to work the beans and squash.

    Today I planted cucumbers, pink eyed purple hull peas, sweet corn, watermelons, Asian pole beans and field corn planted together, and cucumbers from Iraq. Got a nice steady rain after I planted.

    Why did I think this thread would be dirty, and I don't mean the soil o.o

    If there is anyone looking at this, sorry I have been so lax in posting. Lots going on. Squash and green beans have making pretty good for a couple of weeks. Cucumbers just now producing. Picked one tomato. Bells and Jalapeno are a day or two from being ready. Field corn starting to tassel.

    Fantastic. At different times, I've done cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes, green onions and corn. It was a lot of work and a lot of joy. But I worried a lot, fussing over them.

    This summer, I'll probably just do strawberries in hanging baskets, store bought, ready to hang and water.

    CJ, it is a lot work, that is for sure. I some times think I'm crazy for planting so big a garden. But I do enjoy it.

    I got some of the younger tomato plants tied up this morning. We had a wind storm a couple of nights ago that laid some of them down.
