Plotting the Garden Plot

I went out into the back yard this afternoon to check the garden plot.  It is still pretty wet and it is supposed to rain tomorrow.  It will not dry out soon.  I keep hoping for a week of sunshine.  I know that I want to get Sweet Potatoes-white potatoes, some turnips, beets, perhaps parsnips and some celeriac in soon.  I think I can get some radishes in fairly soon as I plan on putting them close in, near the back patio.  Also, some spineless Okra along with a row of salad greens-and TOMATOES!  Bush beans, too.

I think this is a prime year to put out a garden.  The price of veggies and produce keeps going up and it is hard on the pocket book.  I hope to get a good output so I can freeze and can good stuff.  Even if you put out a small garden it will help put food on the table.  Every little bit helps.   Even salad greens are well worth growing...and you will know who or what is "fertilizing" your fresh garden salad!

My last summer's garden was a dud due to the long drought.  I hope this coming summer will show a better yield.  It is hard work.  I don't want it to be for nothing or a poor yield of food.

Tomorrow, Sunday, I think I will go to the farm store, Rural King, maybe Lowe's or the local nursery and check out what they may have.  I need Cookies, too!

I brought some items in from my car: 10 cans of soup, 10 cans of Treet, sugar, flour, and corn meal.  I have a few boxes of cake mixes to bring in.  The flour, corn meal and cake mixes I will store in the freezer where they will "keep" for a long time and bugs or weevils can't get in them.  I still urge everyone to stock up as they can or as possible.
