We started early in February planting seeds in pots and making a greenhouse, and adding some grow lights. We hired a neighbor to rip the ground with his tractor. Don then used the rototiller to work the ground. We had already started a winter garden up the hill near the house where we had put some onions, shallots, and lettuce. We purchased some red potato sets, red and white onion, which we planted in February, in April we started planting some of our plants we had started. This picture was taken today we are still adding plants.Our landowner Bill ripped and tilled with his garden tractor the pumpkin patch, we are growing the little decorator pumpkins, jack-o-lantern pumpkins, and the giant pumpkins, also some seeds Bill and his wife gave us they had gotten in Italy, with unusual pumpkins.
We are now starting to get little tomatoes on our plants, we planted some Heirloom tomatoes to try this year Brandywine. The cabbage are getting pretty good size, our squash is growing fast the crooked neck squash already have little squash's, the potatoes already have potatoes.
My aunt who lives in the midwest sent me a photo of it snowing the other day I wondered if anyone there had started planting and had lost plants. We watch the weather forcast daily as we do not want to lose all our hard work.
