Doing some garden conversion. Went from a flagstone disaster to a large garden area. And mulched around the outside to keep weeds down. Removed all the old stuff, tilled thoroughly, added last years leaves and the chicken straw/shavings/poop that have been aging. Tilled all that in. Then covered with mulch to try and keep the weeds down. A little behind on some of our started inside but the garden itself is ready to roll.
 
Interesting to note differences in what people do and what is possible around the country.

We're planted and growing in GA. Running late because they changed the start of turkey season to when I usually prep the plot. And I have to replant zipper creams as usual. Never will figure that one out.

25% doesn't fit in a pic without using panorama. Just corn n beans n a low rent scarecrow that contstintly scares me over there.

I have potatoes up and some radishes. My grandma without fail no matter the weather always planted spuds on Good Friday. We didn’t quite manage that this year. Chickens and pigs are up at the farm too!IMG_7198.jpegIMG_7192.jpeg70441281173__04946CD3-B507-4437-9EA0-4FF7FB6E4BD8.jpeg

I recently became a pig farmer too. To good of a deal to pass up. Neighbor called and wanted to know if I wanted any pigs. I said I’ll buy them if you feed them. We have 10.

I’ve been doing good on asparagus. Finally. I’m going to pickle some this week. The rest of the garden is coming along. I’ll start picking spinach this week.

Nice! I currently have 6 of the little buggers are those Duroc or a cross? 20190420_163548.jpg

Anyone want a salad?
 
My grandfather raised abouy a dozen hogs for market every year he was retired. He fed them slop he got from a couple country stores that had breakfast/lunch counters.

I should raise one but I hate them for reasons which come out to be long stories. And they run wild around here anyhow.
