Sweet Corn, Pumpkins, and General Infantry!

[snymat68]

Got the sweet corn and pumpkins in this evening. Kicked up this little guy on my first pass with the tiller. Lol.

He looks very good to have been planted in the ground.

I wonder if he has friends still hiding under the ground? :laughing:

I cleaned him up with a toothbrush. :laughing:

We find little people in our garden, from time to time. Legos etc. Looks like some happy pumpkins and sweet corn in the future.

Thing is, this guy was buried in the yard for who knows how long. Probably belonged to the original owners kids who are probably in their 50's by now.

This is how it all starts

You may have stumbled upon the first of something bigger. Perhaps a whole army.

Get ready for the archeologists and tourists.

Possible. Or a forward artillery observer.

If Monroeville, PA is anywhere near a large body of water expect NGFS rounds soon! (ex-FC here!)

Thru intense training these things become embedded. We carry them comfortably with us the rest of our lives. Old Grunt here.

Maybe I should station actual military around my garden. I went out to check it this morning before leaving for work, and there were footprints diagonally across it where the mailman had walked right through it! GAH! :hissyfit::banghead:
If it happens again I'm putting up an electric fence!

I am interested to know your thoughts on the tiller. I plan on a 72 inch tiller for my RK55, not to plant a garden, but to smooth some land that has holes & ruts galore. It is thick with grass so just curious if you were left with a lot of clumps that had to be raked out or not? I intend to loosen as deep as the tiller will allow, 8 inches or so, then start the process of smoothing the dirt with a drag or landscape rake turned upside down, not really sure yet.

I wasn't left with anything more than a few "tufts" here and there. But I had the skids the whole way up and tilled it a few times (twice to break up sod, once to till in compost and peat, and once to till in fertilizer).

Thx for that info. In my search I ran across the king cutter tillers on everything attachments website. They appear almost identical to the RK models with slight differences here and there. Biggest difference is price. The RK version is $700 cheaper.

More concerning even: shortly after I tilled mine I went down to till in some fertilizer and noticed it looked like the critter superhighway through the middle of it. I counted 6 different types of tracks! It now has a 7 foot fence around it. It looks like a prison yard. One of our dogs spent most of his life in a kennel. He won't get within 100 feet of it. :laughing:
