Next season I will use a string to get all my plants in a stright row! ;-0

The 3rd row is way off! If you go back a few weeks you can see how far off the 3rd row is and how close it is to the 4th row... Oh well... Farmer friend told me to run a string and tie it to the fence,, DUH, I should have thought of that..

Anyone ever grow beets? I am told they grow well down here. What do they taste like if you roast them or wrap it in foil and toss it in the fire? Perhaps a little butter and cinn? Thinking they should already be sweet if they are sugar beets...

Thanks for the comments.. I owe it all to sheep poop. That area had sheep on it for 15 years. The spot where the garden is happens to be where the sheep used to eat every morning... It had cows on it for 100 years before that.

My rows are all 12’ long and I have a nice straight 12’ pole marked off every 12” for a planting stick. If it’s seed I use a triangle hoe to cut a furrow using the pole as a straight edge. You could also use a length of PVC although it is a little flexible...
