I managed to get out to my land Saturday. One end of the landscaping fabric is loose, but other than that everything got through the winter intact. Including my garlic! I’ve never planted garlic in the fall before, so I was happy to see little garlic sprouts poking their noses out.
I also talked with a farming neighbor who had been using part of my land for a hayfield since before I bought it. He’s agreed to till up the part he’d been using, and I’m having a surveyor come out and mark the boundaries. That gives me almost 2 acres to play with! About half of it will be medicinal herbs, and I also have some cover crops to fill in the spaces until the trees and bushes fill out.
Still have a freezer full of squash. I have been ordered not to grow any this year, although I’m still growing my pumpkin that I’m breeding.
I saw a squash that is supposed to taste good dehydrated, that I am thinking of getting this year from Baker’s Creek.
I am going to try to grow zukes in a pot. Corcubits have been non productive. I have found a soil treatment product that is supposed to be good for some of the issues that I suspect we might have, but I think I’ll just try the pots this year.
