| I started to create an Onion bed today. This is all I have done so far. I hope it's not too late for my Onion sets. I will be creating about 3 or 4 more beds this size. One more for Onions. I got 80 Onions in the set, and a bunch of Leek seedlings, and Onion seedlings. I will fill these two beds with the Onions. The rest of the beds will be for Cabbage, Cauliflower, Broccoli, and Parsnips/Carrots. I might need to create one more after that for Turnips and Beets, but maybe not. I have a whole section dedicated to Leafy greens also. I will be using some of the beds in the fall for my Garlic. I should have 300-500 cloves by the fall. |

| We got top soil delivered this last Summer. I'm using that. The bad thing is, it had wire worms in it. It seems like everyone has wire worms in their soil. I saw one while I was shoveling the soil, and killed it. I also saw some Cut worms, and click beetles. Those were from here though, not the soil. I killed them too. |

| Ha! Good work....is that a Stihl cultivator I see in the background? |

| All that space. Why not grow everything. Great idea. Wish I had that yard |

| We are trying to do even more stuff. We might get one or two cows, we'll have some chickens soon, and my niece got a Sheep we'll have. There is a patch of lawn that's about 45 feet wide and 90 feet long I'm working on improving. I will also be increasing my Garlic yield year by year in hopes of being able to sell $2,000 worth a year and get farm status. If all goes well, the year after this year I should be growing about 1,000+ garlic plants. |
