Default Late addition to this thread

I know this is an older post, but I never get this far into the Forums - always get stuck looking at the Cub and Implement posts. I hand tilled (@300 sq ft) of soil and clay last spring at a house that was new to us then. The photos are from last summer when we were in full bloom. In one of the photos you may be able to see the two wooden stakes with white string strung between them. That supported our cukes without any problem. I plant bush beans so I didn't need to worry about a trellis or support for them.

We also put in a chicken house (4 hens) so I included a pic for fun. Since this was taken we've opened up the coop area so that the enclosed run is about twice the size seen in this photo. A winter's worth of chicken manure is enriching the garden soil right now.

I'm waiting on parts for a 3 point hitch assembly for my 104, and still need the brinly adapter. I've a plow and disc harrow I'm picking up in a couple of weeks. Hopefully this year I'll be able to expand the size of the garden some.

Hope this is helpful.
