Garden 2025 Has Started.

Broke ground on a bigger garden this year today at the farm.  Its almost the size of what we had growing up.  Double what I had out there last year.  Sun and wind had it dried out good enough to plow.  Should be composted well by late April.

Snow was on ground for Valentines Day, did not and have not even tried to dry out my raised beds,   too busy.  Maybe this week if I beat the rain.

Yes it has. Started the rotor-tiller up yesterday, in preparation to till garden up in the next couple weeks. Drained and replaced oil in Tiller and fired up. Then changed oil in both mowers and drain oil in snow blower and put a little bit of that special gas in it. Blew the leaves off the strawberry row. Dug up some kind of winter weeds out of the garden and 2 raised beds. Was not to bad. Today if the wind stays down I plan on burning my ditch out front at the road. Fluffed the leaves all up yesterday, with the leaf blower, so the would dry out for the burning today.

Planted Raised Beds today with lettuce, spinach, and sweet snow peas.  Cleaned out asparagus bed and put some fertilize on.

75 here and bees are flying.  Looks like early spring.  May till some of the garden this weekend if it does not rain much and plant some taters and onions

Planted 2 rows of sweet corn, taters, horseradish, onions and garlic back March when the tornado came thru.  It's all coming up well.  Raised beds have lettuce and spinach, snow peas all coming along fine.  Strawberries are setting berries.  Asparagus beds not doing much.  I think they burned up last summer in dry spell.

Planted asparagus last spring for the first time and there's a few stalks coming up.  One of them is probably 4 feet high now and has turned into a sort of ferny looking deal.  

Going to throw out a few tomato plants today, maybe plant some cukes too.

Still too early here, frost last weekend.  Temps have been having a 40 degree spread this week.

We are re-vamping ours this year. Tilled to break up some more ground and brought in a bunch of compost. 

Raised 8x4 asparagus bed is in year two and probably have 10+ that are big and fern looking now so we might pick a few.

Got corn in the ground last weekend, 5 different patches from 4x4 to 6x9

Got a full 8x4 of green beans going. Built a 2x6 with a net for peas that is started. 8x4 of onions is going, and half an 8x4 of cool weather greens going like mustards, kale etc, and half a 8x4 of lettuces. Bunch of carrots.

Everything else is hanging out in 4 inch pots for probably another week or two then might head into the ground.
