Looks awesome!! Just saw you were doing this, really excited for you. I love gardening if you need any tips. Bush beans and sugar snap peas are always my favorites to plant since they are fast growing and you can usually plant two rounds, early spring and late summer for into fall.

decided they were going to need too much work.  put them up on market place.  just loaded them both onto a trailer for a guy, and made 100$ more than i paid on them.  also got rid of two junk 8 lug tire/wheels to him.  win.

have been trying to get window onions going for a few weeks now.

just bush hawged around the field and started smelling onions.  stopped, and realized about every 5 feet my entire field has green oinions growing and they are about 2' tall.  crazy.  grabbed a hand full and brough in.  they are better than the store ones you pay a 2$ a bunch! 


win!

didnt really use my back today.  used the tractor A LOT.  i did wear knee pads though and got some sun burn in some new places im not use to working on the ground lol

transplanted 4 trays of seedlings.

rows of red tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, banna peppers, carrots, two kinds of cucumbers, onions, and 4 big pumpkins that are growing super fast. 

the un fenced portion i think is just going to be all sweet corn and maybe something else easy.

next up is getting water out there. 

500' roll of 1/2" pex is 94$ on amazon.  that would be cheapest and tempermant solution. 


real solution would involve 300' of ditching, running power, water, cable, gas to garage and then barn. then hose bib off back of barn.  not sure im going to sign myself up for that yet. 


300gal IBC tote on the tractor forks is not going to work out.  too heavy at 1/3 full and super sketchy to lift up 6' in air for watering wand i threw together.

Might be worth the work to get water to the barn, it's so nice to have a sink to wash up in
