First FUN!

March 17, 2012...
On St. Patrick's Day, dad and I were out in the dirt just after sunrise.  That's definitely a first for me..We started our 1st row of vegetables that are OK to plant in early Spring.  First in the ground? 6 broccoli plants...

Followed by 18 sweet yellow onions and 75 hills of Red Pontiac potatoes...The picture below shows how we kept our row straight for 100 feet...This was dad's idea...He staked some baler twine at each end of the garden.  The picture also shows the potatoes before we covered them with dirt.
We started the 2nd row with about 10 feet of iceberg lettuce followed by 12 feet of romaine lettuce and 18 cabbage plants.
