I know it's early yet, but does anybody have any new plans for your garden this year?

I know I can't wait to try out my tiller for the Cub.

Yep I got some plans..... plant less! We couldn't give away all the stuff we had left over and I didn't have time to can it all. I have fun prepping the ground with my Cubs but it's pretty much a chore after that. <_<

I plan on going a bit larger this year. Last year was our first and we started small. I'm not really going to plant all that much more this year, but I want room to walk between the rows. Once things grew last year (especially the squash and zuchs) they tended to overgrow one another. Choked out my sugar snap peas and bush beans. Might try a few new veggies too.

I did get a start on next years garden. Between the soil being too wet or something else that needed done I didn't get to plow my garden til December 1. It was 15 degrees when I started plowing. We had over an inch of rain earlier in the week. Only way I was going to plow is the soil had to have a good freeze in it. Here is how my garden looks now:

My tomatoes wer in the middle of this photo.
Traction wasn't the best. I had to do some fine tuning to get plow to work right and pull easy. Tires didn't look too bad when I was done plowing.

Moldboard has a good shine to it now:

This was 90 minutes after I was done plowing. White stuff is snow.

I'm not sure on the size of the garden next year. I like to go bigger. Sweet corn was selling for $3 a dozen around here this year.

We plowed last fall, and the tiller box is on the 1450...just have to unhook the snowthrower, and attach the tiller to it, and it's garden 2008 time :Thumbsup

We are going to put 'something' down first though...I'm sick and tired of all the damn weeds. It seems like a never ending/no win, situation :Angry

This year we're going to put out the usual stuff...and add a few more of the goodies my wife needs to make salsa..tomato plants, and jalapeņos :Cool :Cool

We use some seeds...carrots, peas, beans, and corn, but get a lot of plants from a little place called 'Harry Birt's Store', in New Weston, OH. The kids help pick out plants, and then when we go inside, they go NUTS in the bulk candy isle :12:

Dale: I know what you are saying about the tomato vines. The last 3 years I have been pulling them and the pumpkin, squash, and watermelon vines and throwing them down by the creek before I plow my garden.

Mom and dad's garden is a different story. Last year my sister had out 60+ tomato plants, and untold rows of zucchini, pumpkins, and corn...not to mention the sunflowers.

When dad still had steers, he would turn them out in the garden is the winter and they really cleaned up/tromped down the 'trash'...but now vines, and the stalks of the corn and sunflowers are still standing. It gets to be a PITA sometimes. :)

We don't have near the garden size that you folks do, but I put my foot down (again) on the number of tomatoes that SWMBO is allowed to plant. Last year it was three plants, but with the mild temperatures none of them ripened. typical, she left them in place and then, in the late fall, I was out there loading up multiple wheelbarrow loads to haul to the compost pile(s). She had me
save' the green ones in buckets for later use. I should have known better. ;) I dumped those precious saved tomatoes about three weeks ago! What a stinky slimy mess! :eek:

One plant this year! One!! Yeah, yeah, yeahs, it'll never happen.......

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
