I hope your 2017 garden is a huge success. I like the layout and variety of vegetables. I am nowhere near as organized as you!

No CM9, I made my planning templates years ago using Word & Photoshop.

The main garden is 80' X 50', the asparagus bed is 25' X 4'. Here are a couple of pics from last year:

For the most part, yes. Both are also excellent when steamed & buttered like peas.

I got the tomato, eggplant, tomatillo & pepper seeds started on Feb. 1st. & all are doing well. The tomatillos & both varieties of tomatoes sprouted on Feb. 6th and the jalapenos, serranos & eggplants came up on Feb. 8th... We had very good germination this year, so there are plenty of 'extras' in the event of bad weather.

​

Another project was replacing the weeper hose that I have been using to irrigate the asparagus bed. They are more trouble than they are worth (as they only last 1 season here), so I decided to redo it using PVC pipe & 10 brass spray heads. The installation was completed last week.

​

Today I cut the seed potatoes & applied powdered sulphur to them. We are suppose to have 5 good days here (starting tomorrow) & I want to get them planted ASAP. With 95 'seeds', I expect to harvest about 400 lbs. around the beginning of June.
