Veggie Tales
I mentioned my garden a bit back. I planted some stuff last week. Notably, Swiss chard, romaine lettuce, cucumbers, variety of tomatoes, carrots, radishes and various peppers. The chard, peppers, and tomatoes came as plants and not seeds. In less than a week, the radishes, carrots and lettuce from seed have broken the soil.
If it goes well, I’ll build another raised garden next year.

One day the kids were watching a DVD of that someone got us. Junior looks at me and says ‘this stinks’.

We always had swiss chard in our back yard, and rhubarb – and mom made rhubarb pie (requires about five cups of white sugar). Gad I hate rhubarb pie.

Talking asparagus is a tool of the devil…
As to the garden, let me know how you do with the tomatoes. The soil over here in West TN is way too clay-intensive, and I’ve had almost no luck getting decent tomatoes. I’m trying them in pots this time around.

P.S. DirtCrashr is nuts, Rhubarb pie kicks ass.

Did a raised garden so my soil is roughly:
50% topsoil
25% miracle grow
20% compost
5% cow poop
But I grow my tomatoes in a pot with nothing but miracle grow potting soil.

What pesticides are you using? I have to wait for the roto-tiller person before I get to mines.

Just a warning – nothing improves the potency or germination rate of weed seeds run through a cow or horse, just in case that’s fresh manure instead of store-bought stuff.
