Do you have a bedder making those rows, or angling the disc?

I disc it up first, then fertilize if i need to. Then I lay out the black material over one of the rows created during discing. Then i just run beside it and the disc harrow will push the dirt over the edge of the black material pinning it in place.

It doesn’t always work perfect of course, but when it does I look like a genius!

Playing the long game. BIL is on year 5 I think, said he got 5-6lbs this spring

First blueberry started turning color today, blackberries are flowering

You won’t regret it!
Only thing I can add
Is don’t be scared to rip one up if it ain’t doing right
And replace it

Better head to the slough barb!
Hope this rain doesn’t mess things up

I wish I knew how to put down that weed barrier like you big dog
Fried my first squash Wednesday with the redbreast
I like to put out a few early ones to get things started
Same with cucumbers

I can’t control my weeds otherwise. I use the hoe a little bit, but i have to be able to run the disc by it or else it’ll drive me crazy and overtake. Especially with the pumpkins in the fall.

Mr S that’s a fine mess of brims

I’ll be in the swamp in a couple weeks, but for now I was able to get to the jetties and snag a bunch of whiting up to 1 1/4lbs on Friday, fun action and gets crispy fried tonight

My blueberries are starting to come in pretty good, most lettuce has gotten bitter and needs to come out so I can dig up the garlic. BIL’s rabbits benefit on that one. The garlic I’ve pulled just turned into a bigger single clove in the shape of an onion… maybe I was just late planting? I don’t hate it, they’re huge and easy to peel!

The garlic likely didn’t get cold striated, that’s why you get those big singles.

We call them elephants, and often grow them on purpose

Did you start with seed garlic or plant clove sections you had?

Edited to add, I forgot who I was talking to. The garlic needs vernalization to make cloves.

Awesome, thanks! Knew I could get an answer on here.

I used the biggest outer cloves when the Teeter was dumping last year’s heads for 50 cents

Next year put the ones on sale in the fridge for 45 days, maybe two months tops.

Bust them apart and get them in the ground mid January, best guess for down there.

But the g big ones, like you said, are great to deal with

Oil on medium heat, chopped garlic and thin sliced onion until opaque, sliced taters in the mix till good and brown. That’s what they serve as a side dish in heaven

That’s all I got

It amazes me how far ahead of me you guys are. I’m just getting started

Before you know it, your kids will be out fishing you.
