Tilled up half an acre for this year's garden yesterday...

Baizanator · March 6, 2014

Been having so tough times on the personal side of things and find that gardening takes my mind off of things by keeping me focused on other things. As a result, my garden got a bit bigger this year. Doing .5 acres and tilled it up yesterday. I've posted my grow list for tomatoes but it's going to get posted again along with everything else I've either planted or will plant.

Sounds good Baize. Maybe I'll get a chance to drop by later this year and check it out. Happy growing.

When I grow Lemon Boys I have found they need a lot of room,maybe some adjustment in your spacing.They came early and stayed late,very prolific.Have fun.

Kurt, I didn't say anything about spacing. I plant my tomatoes 2.5 feet apart.

Intent was to say that the Lemon Boys probaly need more room than the average 2-3ft.

That looks like a great assortment! I love all the colors and types you have in there. I also prefer a wide assortment of stuff. How many of these are going to be trials/new to you versus tried and true?

I can't wait to get started on the garden myself. I noticed you don't have any squash listed do you not like them or is a space issue?
