[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 2041998, member: 31715"] Well, I skipped last year apparently. We only did potatoes. Potatoes have got to be the new Tomatoes. They basically grow like weeds without me even trying. I heard an old saying once that to successfully grow a tomato plant, all you need to do is grab a tomato and throw it somewhere in your yard and forget about it it. It will grow eventually. Well apparently the same can be said for potatoes in my area LOL. We prepped the garden beds today. And the work consisted only of pulling out potato plants. These were not plants we planted. These are plants that grew from potatoes that we missed digging up from our previous harvest a year ago.. There had to have been over 3 dozen plants. Unfortunately my pepper plants which I had overwintered twice (three year old pepper plants) didn't survive the neglect, so I will be starting anew this year. Which brings me to this springs plan: [ATTACH type="full"]87926[/ATTACH] Above shows the intended plantings for this spring, and their general spacing in my garden beds. Each box represents roughly a 6 inch X 6 inch area, so its roughly to scale. The only thing not shown in the above is we cut a tree down last year, and now have quite a large area that we have been amending with soil treatments. We will be planting a large plot of a corn variety that grows well in coastal regions (or so I am told..) Everything is pretty straight forward this year. I'm trying a new carrot variety, i've never had huge success with carrots. I am also trying a watermelon variety that SHOULD fit in the space I laid out. It's a smaller variety that is supposed to bush out more than spread like normal watermelon vines do. My only concern is whether or not I will be able to get away with just 1 watermelon plant, or if I will require two for pollination reasons. All the flowers being planted are mainly to help with the pollination of the watermelon. I know watermelons typically need multiple plants in order to pollinate, but I was not able to find any info on this specific variety. I'll keep doing some research but if anyone knows, feel free to chime in. Claud the farmer is back baby, -Brandon [/QUOTE]
