brussels and arugula soon to be in garden
carrots continue to get bigger. planted my tendersweets today
very nice squash. a challenge to grow them here in home gardens. vine borer problems. you must have gravity on your side....
14* here for the last 2 days, so ya,--winter is upon us,--kinda put my fall plowing to an end unless it thaws out again which I doubt will happen. Last yeat I plowed in December, so who knows! Gotta fix the plow now anyway!
Used my front tine tiller today. Of course I'm only digging a trench for asparagus I ordered.
Got another one of my Bean beds for climbers planted. I've put in Purple King, Rattlesnake and Yard long.
I got new Asparagus trench dug yesterday before the rain started. So I'm ready for the February delivery of another 20 plants. Back fill with 50/50 mix of compose/topsoil at time of planting. Some are replacements for no shows in my other two rows and the rest go into the new row. In a couple of years, I'll have a nice stand to harvest. I'm reusing the lower part of my garden that was an attempt at a strawberry patch years ago. Got grown over with weeds and saplings.
Some of the dirt from the last lift of the trench was used to level up an area for my two new tote raised beds. I know I said I would never plant sweet potatoes in a raised bed but a new bladder fell in my lap. This one will be deeper and filled with the same 50/50 mix. If the experiment fails next year, I'll just plant peppers in them.

Make your bed deep and the sweets should do fine,----go 2 or 3 feet deep, keep it loose, water heavy and they should do good. I plant 16 to 18" apart to get big taters. closer = small strings. Thats how you regulate the size of them. Sounds goofy but it does work! lol!
i have tried crowns... so-so results. they took. grew. liked them to eat fresh 'snapped'! very sweet. i have had sweet from store. 1-10 about a 2.5. usually the sweet is gone. but ok as what can one do?
i am waiting to live my dream... Farmer Steve's Annual Asparagus GTG! ~ 
Kangaroos????? in your yard???? DAMN! thats neat! LOL! Keep the pics coming as the garden grows!
found this guy in pantry last nite... last of bag, got new bag now... seems to be begging to get planted, mite get its wish....
surprised me, too!
2' to 3' deep!? I can't dig that deep! lol. These new tote beds are 18" deep. I'll only plant 4 plants in each one. Not a major crop, I know.
Yeah Eastern Grey kangaroos I also got Pretty Face Wallaby and Swamp Wallaby.. I'm in the bush I got everything snakes included lol
I don't mind the Red Bellied black snakes hanging around they eat the browns. I just got to be mindful where I step in my gardens lol
WOW!! neat for sure!!
think i should plant that big red whole? was thinking 2 maybe 3 seed pcs. i don't want to take up a lot of space. peas overrunning the place! ~
