Whew! I FINALLY got my garden tilled today... We live in Central Indiana about 40 miles north of Indy, and usually I managed to get a warm spell in Feb. to where I can open it up then, but not this year... As late as yesterday it was still frozen on top... The sun came out strong this morning and managed to thaw it just enough for my Troy Bilt to get the job done... Every garden is different, but in the case of mine, once you bust it for the first time in late winter or early spring, it dries out very nicely, and actually I can often till and get work done in my garden when other local folks just can't because their gardens are too wet... Anyhow, that part is done...
The tomatoes plants will go out about mid-March or so in the Wall-O-Water tents... A couple of years ago I set them out in late April and we left for Hawaii on a morning when it was 12 degrees here... I told her if they get nipped I'll just have to start again... They were just fine... I love those tents... Here are a few pictures of items I entered in the county fair last year to enjoy whilst we wait...
The first is a cabbage our oldest granddaughter grew in Grandpa's garden
The second is my stuff before I took it out to the fair... I couldn't find the fair pictures with the ribbons... My white onions didn't place, but everything else got blue and the carrots took Judges Choice!
You will have to click on these because I'm too lazy to upload them to my website... Sorry
