The board is slow even for this site, seem to have a lot of visitors but not many talkers..lol..Guess everyone is out enjoying their tractors.

Nice and 74 here in southern WV, I hope to get some plants out today and maybe beans planted. Hopefully frost is over.

Got my market garden in, over 5,000 feet of 3 varieties of sweet corn, 50 hills of watermelons, cantulopes or cucumbers. 1,000 feet of okra, 1,000 feet of green beans. 100 tomatoe and pepper plants, they survived a late freeze. The peach trees are loaded, already thinning them. Got one tornado warning where I live and over 2 inches of rain, hope it did not wash out to much of my seed. I forgot 30 hills of pumpkins. If most of the Branson's owners are like me, they are busy. Need to find a planter for sowing the corn, okra and beans, this hand sowing, is long process.

Now I need to brush hog and spray the orchard.

If it all produces, I will be spening some late nights picking and going to farmer's markets.

WOW now thats a garden. yea if things go well you should a lots of produce for the market. Do you do any canning or anything like that.

I put out a few cucumber, tomato, squash, brocolli plants and planted a row of beans. Also did another row of lettuce and onions.

Next week is corn and watermelon and cantaloupe. My biggest problem is keeping the deer out. I just gotta another dog and he is a jack russel and beagle mix, he barks at anything that moves so I hope he will keep them run off.

It's typical of most forums, there are almost always more lurkers than talkers. And it only gets worse as the weather warms up because it's usually much more enjoyable to go outside and experience "real life" than it is to lurk or talk on a forum.
