Garden and Landscaping 2012

[green 4 acres]

I found that my plow was twisting and causing it to sink and anchor ,so I took the moldboard off and attached it more directly to the hitch . Also it is a 8 in Blount Daisy plow ,a horse drawn hand plow from the 1890's ?
I plowed the garden the other day7-8 in with it holding soil as in pic 1
then I took a torch and heated it some and sprayed silicone on it . it started plowing so easy I could not believe it . last pic was after I disc 3-4 passes.

I planted 12 broccoli plants today, the local farm and seed doesn't have cabbage yet so this will have to do for now. Pics tomorrow.
Methos, I usually plant 10-15 peppers each year. A variety of jalapenos, sweet bells and banana peppers.

Friday I picked up 5lbs of red and 5lbs of white potato's and some lettuce. Been wet so got to give it acouple of days to dry out. I got the ISO mounts today so I can get the 1650 ready for years to come.

I grow 100 # red chieftan, 100# Yukon Gold, 25# of red gold, 25# of all reds and about 50# kennebec as well as 25# of fingerlings. 500 feet of garlic and around 3,000 onions, couple hundred feet of snap beans and beets and a few other things.
I put the potatoes in the ground soon as I can till the soil. about 1 foot between pieces, about 4 inches deep and level off the soil. when they get about 5-6 inches I hill 1st time and once more when they grow out another 4-5 inches. Potatoes grow up and hilling covers the tubers so they doont get green which ruins them for eating. I drop about 1/2 handful of ferts between each seed tuber before coveri9ng then spray with a liquid fert every week-10 days as they grow. foliar feeding, especially during bloom, is about the most efficient way to get food to the plants. I begin digging within a few days of 75% bloom for early, small new potatoes and keep digging till they are all sold. Fish emulsion with kelp reall makes em pop. I hope I get tyhese Cubs rolling before too long, they are gonna have to work for a livin !
