yes it is but we decided that we won'...Shirley,<br />yes it is but we decided that we won't need it all this year, it produced enough last year that this year I can take a break from all the canning and freezing! I just have few things to grow and most of it will be for consumption over the summer months!<br /><br />Honey,<br />I know you love the old tractors and you are very welcome!<br /><br /><br />Sam,<br />It sure is and just think how fast it gets done ;-)<br /><br />Lisa,<br />I can imagine how dry it is there, I have been out to Arizone and the states in between and have seen how dry it is. I think it has its own beauty but have to say that I prefer the climates we have better. Raised beds are a good idea and a lot of folks even do that here because it is a lot easier to fight the weeds that way but getting the frames set for that takes quite a bit and we haven't quite decideds to do that yet, maybe when we down size the gardens ;)lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01998455958377639450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525653003665055805.post-4492180711646100612011-06-06T20:53:50.016-04:002011-06-06T20:53:50.016-04:00That's some dark rich looking soil you've ...That's some dark rich looking soil you've got there. Our soil is hard-packed, dry and rocky (caliche soil) and it's virtually impossible to plant a garden right into the ground without big equipment to break up the hard-packed dirt. And unless you have a big garden it's not worth it...and who can afford to keep a garden that large watered here in our area?<br /><br />I'm working on a 12' long raised bed with composted soil, and am praying that something will grow besides weeds. <br />I'll have to water the raised bed at least three times a day so the soil won't dry out. If only we could get some rain here.<br />We have community water, which is hard water and it's expensive.<br />Your garden is going to be really nice. Looking forward to all the updates.<br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525653003665055805.post-51157093850870980532011-06-06T19:54:38.405-04:002011-06-06T19:54:38.405-04:00Thats some heavy duty garden tools there......LOLThats some heavy duty garden tools there......LOL5 Starr's Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06676754770238512903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525653003665055805.post-21407792984444996582011-06-06T17:25:04.832-04:002011-06-06T17:25:04.832-04:00Love that old tractor!!
