Oh My! Everything is Beautiful! What are you feeding all those guys? Are you growing for market?

Thanks for the wonderful compliments, my FRiend. As to your question about feeding, I worked several hundred pounds of 13-13-13 into the soil before I made the rows and covered them with the landscape fabric. Since then, I’ve only foliar-fed things with some liquid Miracle Grow every so often. The garden is located where my late paw-in-law kept his cows for many years and I think that contributes to the richness of the soil in that spot.

I apologize ... just realized that I didn't answer your question about whether or not I sell at market. So far this year, I have sold a ton of cucumbers and eggplant to a local man who does sell produce. I had intended to sell some from here at the house, but haven't done so yet. Haven't had extra tomatoes so far, we've been eating and canning ... but I'll probably peddle some of the second wave that is beginning to ripen.
Still have several acres of sweet corn and purple hull peas that we've yet to harvest and I will sell whatever I don't freeze or can. Husband and son are going to plant a couple of acres of pumpkins this weekend and we will sell those in the fall.
