Jumping the gun

[CrealCritter]

Here's my 50 x 100 summer garden getting ready last year. There is no way I could do this by hand... I till it twice first lengthwise the widthwise for the rows. Notice there is a deep furrow about 2/3 the width that runs the length down to the creek for water run off.

Must have my trusty troy-built tiller. It's one of the better investments I ever purchased.

This is what I have to contend with every spring flood in this summer garden. I have to have a deep furrow. Gotta love the heart land! Knee deep mud is so fun - not! Maybe I should just plant rice.

Wow -- not only is that a huge garden, the "river running thru it" is quite impressive!!

Nice grass -- my horses would love it

Its prarie grass for sure. Makes for some nice hay rounds also.

It's kind of a pain to get started but once it gets going it's like the Energizer bunny. Tomatoes grow like crazy at the head and corn does great at the back.

Tomatoes easily grow 8' foot tall

My buddy up the road has turned the soil over for me twice now to a depth of about 16" all that composted material is loosened up real well now and plants love it.
