Thanks guys . Most of it is doing really good but a few things like carrots, parsnips, didn't come up at all due to the 6 week dry spell in the spring we had . Now the biggest concern is rot if the rain doesn't stop. We are very sandy here , but the ground has not dried up in over 2 weeks now. What an upside down year .

That's right Dave, I'm worried my Fall garlic is going to rot, as I haven't had a chance to harvest. and we're looking at the rest of the week raining again.

Our few tomato plants are looking fine for now, but surely they'll suffer if it keeps going like this. I had a few potatoes and onions to still plant, but I'm beginning to give up hope on them.

Look at the bright side, your garden is not only sandy soil, but on an incline too. That's a lot better than the swamp I'm in.

The garlic is out!

Eugene , that looks like a nice haul . What type of garlic did you plant ? I tried starting for seed I saved but that dry spell we had in the spring killed it off . I will try again next year and hope for the best .

Dave, I got garlic from a farmer in Stayner. Two years in a row now it grows strong. I previously tried store bought garlic and it was nothing like this. I plant it mid to late October. I'll give you his contact if you want.

Turns out that the 644 can do garden duty now that I can attach the plow and put a little weight on the wheels.

The plow still needs some more tuning though I could turn some soil and that always feels good!
