Plow is coming Yea!

**Janbee** · 04-10-2009, 09:15 PM

I have been tilling and tilling trying to get my garden spot ready I keep wanting to plant but I keep not feeling like I have got the garden spot properly prepared so I keep not planting and keep on tilling. This is a new garden spot as I have not put out a garden for years.

Anyway I am so excited as I have hired a man with a tractor to come and plow my garden.

After it is plowed I can till it one time through and plant it. YEA

I am so disappointed as he is not here yet to plow.
Hope everything is OK.

He came it looks wonderful.
It is 50 X 100
It smells wonderful.
The dirt is super fine
I wish it was not going to rain tomorrow as I would plant.
I always heard if it rains on Easter Sunday it will rain the next seven Sundays

Glad you got it done. Gardens are always a challenge and fun.

We have another small one this year. Hubby got a new rototiller last
year and it works out good for us to have our own tools here.

I am planing on saving seeds so with my corn I am only going to plant one variety at a time so that they will not cross pollinate. I have patty pan,yellow straight neck and zucchini so I have got to plant them so that they do not cross pollinate. from what I have read you need to plant them 200 yards apart and that is not possible and as far as planting them so that they produce at different times that is not really possible as squash produce for a long period of time. I am going to make bags to isolate and hand pollinate the ones that I save for seeds.
