The lettuce seeds I planted last weekend have come up and need to be transplanted into the cold frame. I stuck the pan they were in out there yesterday but ran out of time to put em in the dirt. I'll have to put on my slicker and get that done today so they don't croak when the cold snap comes.
Beets, kale and green salad are still rocking out in the garden. I noticed yesterday that the garlic is starting to come up. I need to make a point to get it in a little earlier next year.
With today's rain I decided it was time to give up on the pond project until next summer. I had it all pumped out but it's a losing battle this time of year with all of the precipitation we get so I pulled the pump and hose and put them away until better weather gets here.
We turned five strips in the front pasture. 3600 row feet. Enough for 900 tomato plants. I was only planning to put in 500 so I've got room left over for some pumpkins and cucumbers and whatever else I decide might be a good market crop compared to the effort required to take care of it.
I wanted to make a couple rounds with the plow, but Dad was having too much fun. The soil in the food plot was a little tight, but it turned up really nicely. The last time this ground had been turned was in 1969.
