Mornin', Red. I've been so busy with the yard, garden and farm that I haven't contributed much lately, but I did remember to start uploading some photos this morning. I'm going to head out to check the garden this morning and take a few more photos of some actual FOOD growing!

This photo is the garden after I broke up the ground with the farm tractor and disk (only takes 3 passes, LOL), double tilled the soil with the little tractor and 4 ft. tiller, and began rowing up.

This next photo shows the rows after I finished, but before I rolled the top of the beds flat.

This is a shot of the completed workup, after I rolled the top of the beds to give myself a nice planting area.

Here I've begun laying down the landscape fabric and installing the trellis. I think I mentioned before that this year only tomatoes, peppers and strawberries are going on the fabric because I simply won't go to the expense to do more. I ended up with 4 full rows of fabric and 8 short rows. I've now installed another row of trellis (for a total of 10 this year).

Dang, that’s a massive garden! What you growing?

[Black Agnes]

Impressive!

When I’m all growed up I want a garden just like that LOL.

What are you going to trellis? And what kind of strawberries will you plant?

[afraidfortherepublic]

That is impressive. I can hardly wait to see the food GROWING on that magnificent palette.

[who knows what evil?]

Aren’t those feedlot panels? Do you use them for tomatoes?

I knew when I saw the first photo that it was you posting! LOL

My Oh MY! Yep I can understand why you are limiting the landscape frabric to a few rows! That is no kitchen garden!

A friend of mine has a brand new Kabota tractor and a big ol' tiller attachment. He could till my garden area in two passes (five min. and he would be done)if only he could get the tractor up where my garden is!

We FReepers are all waiting to see your garden/farm(?) through this season.

Where gardening turn into farming. I forgot, do you sell at a farmers market or sell from a farm stand? See my photos on last weeks thread for a mini apple farm that went from hobby to livelihood...

You have a nice spread. Is your soil sandy or clay? It looks on the sandy side
