Lickbranchfarm's 2018 Garden thread

I know, FlowerBug. I've got all my stuff Jammed together.

September 2015, this is what my gardens looked like. Bought this land on My grandsons birthday. First thing I wanted was a big garden, dug 1000 stumps off this place already, probably dig 10,000 more before I'm done Lol.

@Lickbranchfarm sorry to hear that your cantaloupes are not doing to well... you have plenty of time to replant. if you want to grow a cantaloupe that is out of this world try growing "escorial" it is a french"charentais" verity johnny's seeds have them #3071 they are kind of proud of them .. but if you pick them at the right time people will think your a melon god.... will only grow this type here..

keep up on the watering,it's going to be a hot and dry week........heres to going vertical

Do you have a house on your land? Going to build one?

We are in the process of selling our House now, I'm waiting on my barn to be put up so I can move what stuff we are taking with us out, and store it here. Haven't settled on a house plan yet, but we've got time, If need be me and momma can live in our camper for a while, just me and her, kids are grown. This is our retirement plan as we call it, I got 20 years till retirement but getting started a little early so I get it right Lol.

I like the way you think! Why wait until retirement to get started on retirement!

Well, gave the cantaloupe a few extra days, haven't seen anything so broke out the tiller and replanted with some Hales best Jumbo seed I had stashed. Also started seeing a lot of new green In the rows, yep I have new sprouts! Not impressed with the cucumbers yet, I watered real good yesterday so hopefully they will surprise me In the next day or two.

Zucchini....


Yellow crook neck squash.....


Butternut squash.....


Blue Lake 274 Beans......

Spent Friday and Saturday re-planting skips In the cucumber, zucchini, squash and blue lake bean rows. I started using and older Earthway seeder this year, it does a great job but getting the right seed plate for the seed is a learning curve. Just because it says bean on it doesn't mean it will plant beans well, actually I think I used a radish plate to plant my Okra, and it came out perfect. Anyway, everything is doing great, the little bit of rain we had a few days ago has the corn almost ready to lay by, probably do that this week sometime. I give everything a good shot of triple 10 yesterday.
On a more exciting note.....My barn got built! These guys don't mess around, called me Thursday evening said they would be on site Friday around 6 am, they were, and were leaving at 5:30 In the afternoon, done, said the black roof about killed them, but I think it turned out great. Their will be a 24'x30 lean too on the side with the roll-up door so soon this building will be 54'x30'. Will be wiring it this week, and hopefully get Duke to tie me into my new transformer soon.
