We have about an acre. cubs get a workout. we grow a crapload of potatoes,carrots, etc. We only buy things like milk, cheese, yougurt, and stuff like that. we raise our beef, and vegies, so we save a lot on groceries.

Default 2009 Garden

We are growing on 7 Acres so the Cub gets a good workout. We raise over 65 varieties of vegetables. We sell them at the local Farmers Market in Levelland, Tx. We also have an old Fashioned root cellar that my son and I built from scratch. We can and store a lot of stuff down there. We raise a lot of Blackeye Peas, Pinto Beans, and Green Beans. Our speciality, besides hand shelled blackeyes, is our Pinto Beans. We pick and shell them just before they get ready to dry with the moisture still in them. They have the best flavor and a lot of people have already placed orders for this year. We do not spend a lot of money on seed as we plant from beans bought at the grocery store. They come up better and cost a lot less.

Broke ground on the new garden last Saturday. Boy, do I need a Plow and Tiller for the CUB!!! Our garden this year is 100 x 65. We could have a lot more but this is our first season in this new house so we are starting with that. I may get into some organic farming in the coming years, if I can get a handle on that. Just going to ease into it slowly.

You can see my kids off in the background with the Cub, watering our transplanted trees in the first picture.

I can't wait till we are beyond the frost danger and I can get some plants in the ground!

It's still to wet for me to get in the garden. So I've been working in the flower beds lately. We moved and split a bunch of Hostas, Day Lilly's and Glads. (her idea to move them) Now I've got to get some Cedar mulch to go around everything and cover up the black mat. Our Rhubarb has come up nice... time to get some in the freezer. Around the backside of my garage we planted two blueberry, two blackberry, and two raspberry plants. I didn't get a good picture of those yet. Two years ago we planted a semi-dwarf apple and a semi-dwarf pear trees. We got a few pears last year. So this year I bought some spray to help them out. This is spraying fruit trees is all new to me.





I guess I wasn't the only one working outside today....

Finished planting the garden today and can't wait until everything is ready to eat! I have potatoes, sugar snap peas, bush beans, peppers, brocolli, tomatoes (roma and big boys), lettuce, zucchini, yellow squash, and cucumbers. I also have a separate little pumpkin and watermelon patch. My son enjoys the garden (mostly eating the veggies, but he'll help out too). Hope you all had a nice day. Jason

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
