Another warm sunny weekend in Central Missouri has come and gone.

I hauled my entire compost heap out to the tomato patch. I had enough to cover 1020' of 6' wide bedding rows 4"-6" deep. That's a lot of compost.

Saturday morning I spread sunflower, turnip, pearl millet and oats on the wildlife food plot and tilled it in. I spread 200lbs of urea on the back pasture after I finished the seeding. Pops came over yesterday and we hung the gate in the new pasture fence. That project is now officially complete.

I'm going to hit the nursery on my way home from work tonight and get some cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower to stick in my kitchen garden.

Thanks for the pic. That is truly a lot of compost. We made it to Springfield and back. Hubby got a lot done today adding good stuff to the next patch of garden.

I got one tiny plot ready to plant something, but I don’t know what it will be yet. I was thinking beets, but he already has some that are about an inch out of the ground, so maybe not.
