Nah   we cut them off.

I usually plant several rows of corn, but since I have such a small garden I am forgoing the corn this year.

My buddy (the one that had brain surgery a couple of years ago) just disk-ed up a pretty big garden and is going

to plant some corn, so I'll have plenty. That will leave me some room for other stuff.

Well it's that time of year. Weather has been crazy here in East Texas 70º to 80º days in February 

Tomorrow is tilling day, I'm running a little late (Just a bit) on getting my onions and carrots in.

Since my garden is small, I am not planting any corn this year, My buddy said he would plant a little

extra for me.

Pictures to come

Lo, the Snows have come and gone.

The Season of the hairy Windshield has passed,

and the Voice of the Tiller is heard in our Land.
 
My carrots are half that size and they are four months old.  They taste great but just small.  I only grow them because the 5 year old daughter wanted them.  I may have better luck if I move them to a spot that has more sunlight? 
 
They need full sun, but remember carrots are slow growers

We grew them in a pot more or less for aesthetics to add some life/color to a corner, along with beets and radishes, but I shot the wife down for flowers, Im tired of spending most of my garden money on something I can't eat.

Mine did OK in partial sun but did take 7 months lol. Cant wait to see what you do this year!
 
Gary, I way south of you, but I planted my tomatoes and peppers last week.    It's always a gamble to plant this early, but I have extra plants if I loose the gamble.

I hear you, Three years ago I planted early and lucked out because we didn't get that last freeze, Last year and the year before I planted twice, because we had a late freeze, Undecided this year ?

I'm setting some stuff out pretty much everyday after work.  I hoping we don't get that freakish freeze that we sometimes get in March.
