THE OFFICIAL GARDENING AND PRESERVING CHALLENGE

[FarmerJamie]

cool! Mine is being scrutinized before the final draft

I'm still thinking through things (my notes are being kept on my personal page). We have a month yet.

I saw. No sweet corn or fresh beans?

I'm going to outsource the corn production. I'm thinking 25 dozen ears, 1/3 dried corn, 1/3 canned whole kernel corn and 1/3 frozen.

Greens beans are "out of favor" in the house right now. I have 25 quarts that haven't been touched in 6 months. I have a pound or two of dried black beans from last year - I'm going to try to sprout one or two to test the viability of the seed. I'll can most of those.

I plan on LOTS of corn and wheat for the chookens

cool. I also drew up my raised bed garden plan.....

YAY! I just have to figure my second crops into mine since I have such a long growing season, and see if I can actually DOUBLE my production on the same size piece of dirt

Im doubling my yields intercroping chook corn and green beans....

How much wheat are you planting?
