I'm going to start a few seeds today. This year I'm going to slim down a little. I'll probably grow potatoes, corn, peanuts, watermelon, squash, okra, carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, beans, tomatoes, and peppers. I have a pretty good compost pile now. It should be a good year.
I guess I'm just virtue signaling, but you never know. Some extra food might come in handy this year.
Thanks, I will try that with the squash. I’m going the soaker hose route this year, wish me luck.
Grandma always had great peas and carrots and mine suck. Sandy soil, Nantes style carrots thicker than my thumb and 6-8 inches long. Just right for pickling.
I forgot to mention it, but the kids love the crazy Color potatoes you can get at Lowe’s, the purple and red ones. There is a yellow fingerling among those that is great.
