First part: That was the intended implication! Don't stand down chute or you'll be eating poopcicles!

Second part: It is 9 above here right now. S'posed to get to 6 below or so tonight. I thought the first wife was back. :whistle:

:thumbs: Guys comments like this just makes my day, it's nice to make some laughter in this world today.. :whistle:

[Nick 13]

No pics of the steaming piles in the garden today?

I doubt that Ill get as ambitious as you but the last couple years my brother has put out a garden with his kids but the old farm ground hasnt done the best for them. Dry years didnt help them either. Should get some kind of fertilizer on it for them, thinking maybe some of that natural stuff could help.

Even a poor crop harvest didnt matter to the kids, its all fun. :horseplay:

6 below! You need to live up here in God's country were men are men and woman are proud of it!! Jim we laugh at that kinda Weather! We have about 16" to 20" of snow out there now with blizzard warnings..... and more snow on the way!

This crap is messing with me having to put the Epoxy Floor coating in the Horse Stable on the floor The concrete block that the walls sit on is transmitting the cold on the slab. <_< I'm gonna hafta figure something out damn weather anyways... :dunno:

:thumbs: sorry no pics, my wife loaned the camera to a friend of hers for the week-end, but the trucks didn't make it here either, old diesel and it wouldn't hit a lick, , we even had a few snow flurries , i saw speckels falling but no accumulation, 13 degrees, bad for arkansas

truck is scheduled for monday or tuesday, if it thaws , will have to unload on the edge of garden and push it with the horse, may get to ride abit, if not to cold

but will get pics then..

[jerrell 1]

:whistle: Ground thawed out today and looks if i will have to dump on the drive way and push into garden, the pic are of the garden plowed up with a middlebuster, and my unfinished drive way, but if you look close you will see hoof prints , that little dozer is doing a wonderful job, just have to get the donna-fil to surface the road . garden is on both sides of the drive .

hope i can get the pics now, trucks coming tuesday , and tomorrow i am making a raid in ILL. :horseplay:

V

both plots are about 1/2 acre each and the drive is 600 ft, but the horse had no problem

[Nick 13]

Good looking work on the drive and nice size garden plot. Whats the plan for planting?

[jerrell 1]

:thumbs: plan on lots of tomatoes, corn, okra, squash, hot peppers, bell peppers,watermelons, cucumbers, onions, green beans and cantaloupes, my son made 400.00 2 years ago and banked the money and stated we needed to grow more so i thought i would give him the GT18-LP and equipment and let him go, last year the garden didn't do so well, had the soil analyzed and was told needed more organic material as my soil was to hard and to much clay , RX, wheat straw and manure, so i went to the livestock auction here in Beebe and they have big piles of it, cost me 10.00 a big truck load , just for loading the manure is free and already mixed with the wheat straw, got lucky there, also told to add phosphorus(ms); county agent here is all in to helping people with their gardens . more people are planting them this year, we have a farmers market here and the states largest flea market, about 20 acres of STUFF. I plan to help my son and let him sell everything, gives him something other than tv and games to do . and he saves everything he makes, the "bankeress " really kids him when he makes a deposit and he loves it... (has his own account) keeps him busy and makes him some money for college.. :whistle:

[Duff 206]

Wow! That's refreshing! Sounds like your family is really into the American Dream!

...and I wish there were more fathers out there who would give their kids some healthy alternatives like you have! My hat is off to you, sir!

Duff :whistle:

I tossed in 100 lbs of sand into my plot last year. I had alot of people tell me that was stupid, it was gonna turn rock hard... Hmmm Well when I tilled it all under this summer..sure wasnt.

Just a thought. if you need to break up the clay a bit more, sand is a pretty neutral thing to use.

I wish my yard was bigger, Id have a huge garden...

[Nick 13]

tomatoes, corn, okra, squash, hot peppers, bell peppers,watermelons, cucumbers, onions, green beans and cantaloupes,

Wow! I thought you were going to maybe do a couple plants but your going for the whole produce isle. Look forward to seeing some pictures of working the garden and then of the crop this summer. :whistle:

[jerrell 1]

:whistle: Scitt that sand holds mosture and loosens the soil, thick soil such as clay cramps the roots and sand will loosen it up,, i had a small plot about 3 by 3 a couple of years ago with donna fill in it , kept it watered and i didn't have tomatoes plants, had tomatoes trees, at least 4"tall and way to many tomatoes, for us three.

Nick gonna help my son make some money selling produce, he is a real go-getter at projects like this and i keep encourageing him. less $ from me for college. :whistle:
