Hi all my plants have come up and 3/4 are now in the greenhouse waiting till the 15th to plant them in the garden.The tanner sadly never germinated for me so I am now growing the 874 Leland 05 and it has signs of pushing up the dirt so maybe a day or two more and I will have all 4 of my plants ready for the 15th. We rented a tiller and tilled but the thing gave up on us and died and would not work again so we had to take it back. With gas prices being so high we did not want another one as thats more driving just to return the thing. A quarter of my patch is not tilled but nothing a little work and big pitchfork cant handle.I am growing tomatos,cucumbers and watermelons this yr so we will see how well they do with the compost we added.We have to add clear plastic as we have some weeds feeding on our patch and I have heard clear plastic will burn them up so they wont come back.I cannot wait to see how big these plants get but right now I have to go have a good week all and hope everyone is doing well.
