Mary, Mary quite contrary How does your "Victory" garden grow?

Good idea on the mulch. 

I wouldn’t put weed barrier in the beds—those roots can use the soil beneath. Would put weed barrier under the mulch. Unless the mulch is already down. Then I wouldn’t bother 😄

Yeah, no weed barrier.. Just Mulch,Compost/Soil mix. I have some chicken manure and Peat Moss to mix in once it dries out here.

Make sure you pick the right zone. I think I posted zone nine. Not sure where you live. I picked up Honey and Cream from Gurneys!

Thanks...we’re in zone 6...live in joplin

this is the plan I’m working from 

https://extension.tennessee.edu/publications/Documents/SP291-E.pdf

im Planning to plant one row of green beans...and the rest corn in the part I’m tilling

I bought some bags of soil today for my wife’s beds...and the canoe...trying to get those ready for her

She already has lettuce and stuff going...I usually plant a couple peppers in one of the raised beds...I don’t like tomatoes so typically don’t plant those

i tilled another 10 by 20 spot today behind the raised beds...planning to plant watermelon back there...and see what happens

Sweet corn goes in early, sprouts easy and does not really need alot of heat to germinate.

First lawn mowing of the year done. Raked up all the crap the willow dropped from the ice storms this winter!

Got the raised beds finished, corn and zucchini patch tilled 4 times. Still needs lots more.

Im a bit late on the seed starts of beefsteak and Roma tomatoes and sweet banana peppers. Think I’ll be fine. Should be plantings most other thing by next weekend. May plant the onion sets and red and white taters tonight or tomorrow. Also planning on tilling a squash/ pumpkin/ watermelon patch. Might get that going tonight too... time for a cocktail first though!
