Got the garden all planted....

[greengenes]

...and then I found another batch of seeds.
AHHHHHHHH!

no room for the golden beans, and I need them for the three bean salad!
I wonder what hubby will say when I tell him that I need more tilling done?

...and if he is going to break more ground just for beans... I might as well go get more seed. right?

(This is starting to sound like chicken math)

Look at you go!

Oh, definitely make the garden bigger!
You probably don't have to worry about a little thing like weeds where you're at either, right?

I saw that title and said what? Then I saw your location. Ha

So, how big is that garden that is all done? Perhaps you can make a nice dinner, with wine and dessert and then pop the question? Oh wait, seedcorn might think that's being sneeky.

Think? I know it is!

Almost side tracked. Dang southerners taunting their garden done while we're still under snow, ice...... At least no,pix--yet.

I am seriously thinking about relocating to Florida... and this post certainly adds fuel to that fire! I can't even see the dirt yet, but I am hopeful for mid-week. Your garden is planted and mine is almost unburied...Ugh!

Congrats! @greengenes... I usually use, "That's ok, I can probably handle the tiller"

@lesa - I can't see dirt yet either, but a fast snow melt here this year and I would have to get out the canoe. And as I type this I'm watching it snow ...

If you are serious about that make sure you research the soil. Much of Florida has sugar sand and topsoil must be hauled in.

Oh gee, sorry. I am so far behind, by the time you all thaw It will be too hot for me to grow anything.
Garden #1 is about 30'x40' and garden #2 is about 35'x50'.
I know, and I ran out of room. How does that happen?

This is all good fun stuff until it all comes in on the same day and I have to process it all at once.
And then I will swear that I will never do this to myself again... and then sometime in December those seed companies send me their garden porn catalogs... and it begins again.
I want to take pics, but until I find that cord that attaches the camera to the mother ship so I can upload them, it's useless.

I have nice dark soil for the first foot then it is yellow sand.
There are patches of sugar sand around and about, but you can usually tell where it is by the trees that are growing there.
Hardwoods have nice soil, scrubs have white sugar sand.
And the pinewood flat lands have dark soil with clay underneath.
But yea, we even have scrawny deer, Everything grows better in Ga. on up.

Somehow,

I have the mental picture of a TEG Community Retirement Garden, rural free delivery, Florida - sometime in the future .

You have nice big gardens, Green'! Congratulations on what you have done!
