Re: Gardens 2022
Couldn't help it and got a few tomato plants. This year I did not run the tiller in the spring. After cutting down the rye grass I just ran the plow to make a row for the tomato plants.
644 ready for the task.
Row done.
And half the plants in.
Couldn't get it done without help of course!

Re: Gardens 2022
The garden was needing some attention so I got out the old tiller a friend gave me.
Things seem to coming alone well. Hope you all are seeing progress too!
I changed the oil, gave it some fresh gas, and blew out the air cleaner. It looks a little crusty, but 2 pulls of the rope and it ran good. It did a pretty good job.
Things are growing, but we had some heavy rain right after I planted. I had to replant some corn and I lost a few cantaloupe plant.
I planted my potato’s much later that usual. Non of them are up yet. I started to think I lost them so I dug a couple up there starting to grow so I guess I’ll wait and see how they sprout. Things seem to coming alone well. Hope you all are seeing progress too!

Re: Gardens 2022
The garden is coming along. A couple of things didn’t come up, but all in all not bad. My dad always said if you had tomatoes by the 4 of July you were doing good. We’ll be close. Sweet corn is a little thin but we’ll get plenty.

Re: Gardens 2022
Looks good, you're definitely ahead of me with the tomatoes, but we're in a little bit of a different time zone. Do you not prune your tomato plants?JSinMO wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 1:11 pm The garden is coming along. A couple of things didn’t come up, but all in all not bad.

Re: Gardens 2022
Thank. I know a lot of people do prune their tomatoes, but I never have. I’m a lazy gardener! I let them bush out and just tie them up. We alway end up with more than we can eat!Eugen wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 1:35 pmLooks good, you're definitely ahead of me with the tomatoes, but we're in a little bit of a different time zone.

Re: Gardens 2022
Last year I did for the first time and the production was bigger than the years before with just a few plants. The plants were also healthier, I allowed no branches anywhere near the ground. We sometimes have very wet weather and diseases can develop easier if leaves touch the ground, people told me.
But if no pruning works, why fix it!

Re: Gardens 2022
I think that’s right about the branch’s touching the ground. We’ve never had a disease problem in our plants. But this time of year we’re usually trying to get moisture to the plants. I’m setting up my sprinkler right now to water this eveningEugen wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 2:38 pm Last year I did for the first time and the production was bigger than the years before with just a few plants.
