We're looking at 6" of snow tomorrow...

Nope Missouri, but I just received all my guerneys seeds and I love turning dirt so I kickstarted this thread again.

What did you grow last year? How did you do with the drought?

We've got over a foot of snow and tonight's temp will be well, well south of zero. Too soon.
But I do appreciate the day dreaming.

Still got the snow gear on the Kubota.

Mack in Wisconsin, I grew sweet corn, radishes, peas, green beans, cucumbers, and zucchini. The zucchini and cucumber were a total flop because of this little white bugs. I kept the garden watered good so it all did good except for the second crop of sweet corn which yielded zero and I tilled back under.

Getting snow right now they say we will have a warm front come through about midnight and get 1-2 inches of ice.....

We grew three acres of winter squash for market that did well. I harvested about 30 tons. I planted about 400 feet of sweet corn, but it was really dry for the first six weeks and I ended up plowing it under. I planted green beans and a number of varieties of dry beans. The beans did well. I hand shelled about 25 lbs of birds egg beans from one row. The others varieties are still in the pods in drums in the garage. I wasn't too keen on shelling the rest without some sort of thresher. I had some bell peppers that did ok, not great, but ok. Our tomatoes, mostly Roma, never really matured. We picked some right before the first frost, but most were still green. I'm going to start a little earlier this year and try to get some potatoes and onions in the ground.

I don't have a lot of room to garden nor a lot of money to spend on it I was thinking of buying something like this.

That's pretty neat. I've never seen a broadfork like that before.

Adding the fulcrum at the rear makes it easier to turn the soil. It seems to work well on the Russian steppes, but I am not sure how it would it would handle our Arizona rocky soil.

How is it being back in Wisconsin? Do you miss Abilene?
