A farmer works in acres not hours.
5/17/2024 – The PEPH, after sowing twice with the seeder still has large gaps and in one row half the row is empty. The Kentucky Wonder bean row had very few coming up so filled in those wide gaps. The eastmost row of Clemson Spillass Okra hardly came but the second row did well so […]

Only plowed the corn once before it was too tall and so this tilling was the second cultivation. The soil was packed so this also helped that issue. Side Dressed the cucumbers […]

Sprayed both and all the cucumber and squash seedlings with Spinosad at 2 oz. per gallon plus surfactant. Did not spray the peppers as I forgot. Don’t know why and may need to go back.
