We got our stuff in the ground April 7-8. Some seeds and some plants. Covered the plants 3 nights since then when there was frost warning (and I did have frost on my truck the next morning).
Plants are doing good.
Checked last night, and some of the seeds are coming up. I could see a few squash and zucchini, okra, and lettuce.
The kids wanted to plant a bunch of random stuff this year, so we’ll see how it goes. First time we’ve had a garden that they are old enough to remember. Last was prob 10 years ago.
It is about 20x40 and I had to fence it to keep our goats/chickens/dogs out.
If they and my wife stay interested in it, we could expand it some, plant fall/winter stuff, start earlier next spring with prepping the soil, starting seedlings like y’all have pictured in this thread. We’ll see how it goes!
And special thanks to @thrillhill and his wife for advice and motivation.
Pic from early April when we had to cover plants - my younger daughter displaying the cover method she and my wife developed. (that one was when the wind was so bad, which is why they had cinderblocks on top of stuff)
