How does your garden grow?

[Larro Darro]

I got green beans, sweet corn, soy beans, pink-eyed purple hull peas and field corn planted in the ground today. Tomatoes transplanted into bigger pots and into the RNRGGS {red neck rain gutter grow system} and about everything else out of the hole and into full sun. Then tonight I planted trays of cucumbers {munchers and Armenian}, squash {crook neck and zukes}. I do have pictures, but my camera is in the car, and it's bed time.

You use planters Larro?

This little One Larro powered one. The row marker doesn't go out to 36", so I set it at 18" and go through and lay off the rows first, then plant in every other row.

I do have a set of two row planters for the 3930, and a little single row planter that came with an old Wheel Horse garden tractor that I keep meaning to mount to a set of cultivators I got with my B7500, but have never got around to doing it. Working in the garden was a big part of my loosing 75 pounds, so I don't want to take too much of the work out of it.

Understood biggest reason I use them is to he able to cultivate if I couldn't it would be impossible to grow on the scale I do without being overrun with weeds.

I have thought about using the tractor in the garden. The B7500 would do alright in the cramped confines, but I'm trying to go smaller this year. I enlarged the garden to about 2 acres last year, and that is bigger than I have time to keep it up like it should be.

I stopped and looked at my planters a couple of days ago, and I also have a single row that hooks to the cultivator. Not sure if it has a mate or not, but I do remember using it for planting that was on 6' centers, like melons.

I've caught up with my pictures from the other day {3-8-16} Here is the line-up, starting at my subterranean greenhouse and running to the tree in the center of the garden {east to west}. Bush beans, sweet corn, soy beans, peas and field corn.



And yesterday's planting. {I did skip a few rows to the east of the tree} From the tree toward the west end of garden, it's 2015 Armenian cucumbers, 2014 Armenian Cucumbers {seeds from a lady that works with Margie}, Acorn squash, Charleston Grey, 2014 Crimson Sweet, 2015 Crimson Sweet melons, 2013 banana cantaloupe, cucumbers {from Co-Op}, Marketmore Cucumbers, straight neck squash and half a row each of zucchini and crook neck squash.



Also got a few more tomatoes into the trench. The bigger ones are Beef Steak, with a few younger Yellow Pear tomatoes too. It was cloudy most of the day, so I risked putting them straight from the lights into full sun. It's overcast again today, with rain coming tonight and tomorrow, so maybe they will toughen up enough before they full force of the sun hits them.
