peshewah Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 My wife is ready to plant potato's and onions. And I'm ready to watch her. There is nothing more relaxing than drinking a cold beer under the shade tree watching her work that garden. She loves playing in the dirt. My job is to get it tiled, so I get on the phone and call "Sam the tiler guy" and he comes out and turns the dirt with his tractor. That put a smile on my wifes face. I help her out when I'm needed. I hope its a good year. Good luck to all gardeners on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted March 16, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2009 LOL, I love how your job is to get it tilled, so you call Sam the Tiller guy. Classic. I don't have a garden anymore (the weeds are just too much for me to handle), but I enjoy trying to grow the yard to the best of my ability. It's a yearly struggle that have yet to master.

colterphoto1 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yesterday I moved mulch and topsoil off the area that is to become my garden. We took up an old driveway and used it for fill for the shop. The nice topsoil from the shop excavation was returned to the drive area. So if all goes well, I'll have about two feet of prime Indiana topsoil (with some gravel thrown in) for my garden. Been here 5 years, about time I started digging. I lived on my great-grandparents farm for a number of years before buying 'the city house'. I've got all the tools, even Grandpa's old electric fencer to keep the racoons out of my corn. It's going to be 60 againg today, time for more back-breaking work, but with the MCM's aimed out the shop doors, it's a joy to be rockin' outside!

Dflip Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 There is still a small bit of snow on the lawn. It should be finally gone today as the temperature hits 10/50 today and 14/57 tomorrow. Almost time for shorts. [] As for the garden, no planting of tender vegetables until May 24th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmako Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 The reefer in my basement is really responding well to the new bulbs. Or is it the worm castings and bone meal? Or is it The Who blasting through my Fortes?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnwilly Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 The reefer in my basement is really responding well to the new bulbs. Or is it the worm castings and bone meal?

peshewah Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 My wife is a Southeren Minnesota farm girl and she likes to plant things. But there is a big difference between Southeren Missouri dirt(rocks and red clay) and southeren Minnesota dirt. Two foot of good top soil $$$$ big time. It takes a good tiler to turn our dirt. A little Mantus tiler don't last long in our neck of the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest " " Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 The yeild from above ground pots vs planting in ground makes planting in ground not worth the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
