I do still think they will need some support, just on a smaller scale. I’ve never tried to grow them before, sprawling vines, or compact ‘bush’.

OUP, those weren’t the ones, I’m still looking so we can get this experiment underway . I suppose I can order from burpee.

I always used stick support on my maters, green beans and sugar snap peas - - however, I used a cattle panel for my cukes with a t-post on each end to hold it up.

those seeds are kind of pricey at least for me, maybe I am out of touch with prices these days...

I went to Lufkin Farm Supply yesterday and picked up a few things. Six packs of small tomatoes, squash, various peppers were $5 per six pack. Doing a small garden it’s easier for me to just buy the small plants than planting seeds. Now, if I were planting several rows of peas I’d plant seeds

$5 just don't go anywhere these days, but so goes the way we live.

Tickled it today; going to apply Treflon weed killer before the rain tonight. Then, I have powdered horse manure in the stalls I will spread before doing my final row tilling next week. The moon is right 4-4 through 4-6 so I’m going 4-5

Good "Prep" makes for Good Gardens

Back in the "Days", I was a Cowboy and when my Stalls needed "mucking" the ?stuff? was put into our Round Pen that I used to break/start new Horses/Mules/Donkeys. That is except for Garden Season and it became my Round Garden with a fence that "critters" could not get into but the sunlight and rain could. Not many Humans could climb over into it without some major effort.

They look beautiful. We tried growing asparagus but never succeeded.
