I am so happy to be done with the first stage of the garden this year. @khamubro & @comradb0ne both had a pass with the little Earthquake push tiller. After that it was pretty much me with a garden rake, flat shovel, leaf rake, and a 3 claw cultivator out there shaping them myself. The guys both helped with picking out plants and getting them in the ground. I finished seeding it and now we have sprouts! 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 Broccoli 🥦 Romanesco Kohlrabi Cauliflower Casper White Eggplant Purple Eggplant 🍆 Ichiban Eggplant Zucchini Squash Butternut Squash Buttercup Squash Acorn Squash Yellow Watermelon Ruby Watermelon 🍉 Asparagus Beans Blue Lake 248 Bean Bush Bean Sugar Snap Peas 🟢 Clemson Spineless & one other kind of Okra Sweet White Corn Sweet Yellow Corn 🌽 Sweet Bicolor Corn Birdhouse Gourde Cucumbers (Diva, pickling, slicing, burpless) Musk Mellon Radishes (Watermelon, FrenchBreakfast, Scarlet Red Globe, and "gourmet mix") Turnips Colorful Beets Carrots 🥕 ...and finally 🍅 Tomatoes! We have: Midnight Snack, Mr Stripey, Pineapple, Park's Beef Boy, Green Zebra, Cherry 100 That last image is the compost pit, and resting covered, last year's compost pit. On to phase 2! 😁 I need to put up the deer net, the tomato supports, get mulch, etc. Its nice that my birthday coincided with the semi-rainy weekend when I had just finished planting and had a few days of rest! Tor, Kham, thanks for helping. 🥰💚 Happy Birthday to me! 🥳🧚🏽‍♀️💜 #family #gardening #garden #PixielandFarm #work #putinthework #homestead #gettingstarted #plantingseeds #plantingseason #gardenplot #upstatesc #ninetysix #blessed #timing #spring #springtime #eatmoreplants #compost #growingfood #sharewithothers #letmefeedyou #godisgood #seedtime #timetorest #feedthepoor #eatlessmeat #eatfresh #eatlocal #FarmUpdate (at Pixieland Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNi-cQQnlfI/?igshid=1n4er5g1wx5yu

New Garden Plot

Hello everyone, I am new to the blog and this is my first post.

I am working on making a new garden plot. This one is about 50′ by 25′. I used a Brinly cultivator to break the soil, its mostly clay. The soil is not too hard since it  rained a few days ago. The black bag on top of the cultivator (2nd picture) is a 50 pound weight so it can dig deeper. 

After a few passes with the cultivator, I used a Brinly plow to make furrows. Now, there are different methods  I am using for planting (raised beds, no till, straw mulch, seasonal rain, drip irrigation, etc). The reason I made furrows it’s because this garden is on a slope. I am not sure you can tell but opposite to the tractor I made a swale a few months ago in order to stop erosion. I also planted orange trees on the edge of the swale as well.

It will be raining this week so I hope to get out and plant as soon as it stops raining. The plan is to plant corn, beans and squash, maybe some onions on the edges to “try” to deter gophers (which is another post in its entirety). I will follow up in a couple of weeks and show you any progress I’ve made. If you have any comments, advice, constructive criticism, they are all welcome. Thanks!

Yesterday I visited my friend @freckled_cake at her new community garden plot. She’s in her element with this romantic ideal, and I fell in love with this peaceful, pastoral urban oasis with all its cheerful, friendly, helpful gardeners and their creativity and ingenuity. I may just have to get one myself. 🌳🌱🥦🍅🍆🥬🥒🥕🌽 #gardening #gardenplot #communitygardening #romance #exercise #nature #wellness #growyourownfood #neighbourliness #wellness #lovetheearth #sunshine #vegetables #growvegetables #urbanoasis #escapefromthecity #homeawayfromhome❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B_yB0WugyOv/?igshid=vi68m6qbwk4a
