how big is the garden plot?

This is a plot a farmer lets me grow out on about 15 miles from home. It is roughly about 110 x 40

View Larger Map

They tilled a slightly larger area than the google map from last year shows.

Each row will have ~66 tomato plants with the exception of the right hand row. The first ~15 feet of that row is in the root zone of a walnut tree so I will put something else in that wont be bothered. I dug 304 holes total.

I got in some before it got dark.

Home for tomatoes is ~45x50. There is also an area of other things about 45 x 20.

I am way behind on planting. Serious storms producing golf ball size hailed, tornadoes and high winds are again on the way so I am just keeping everything covered until it passes.

she took some tomatoes, cukes, mexican sunflowers and some green bean seeds. I gave her a jar of salsa and sweet pickled pepper strips and told her I made it all with stuff from the garden and I can show her how it's done if she wanted. her eyes got real big!

then she told me I could start a class and teach things.

That's SO cool Jrz.

IT'S TOMATO TIME!

It's cool, overcast and chance of rain later, perfect for transplanting.
