This garden was started on February 21, 2010 when the ground was tilled, fertilizer spread and seed potatoes planted. The fertilizer used was 10-20-10, which promotes large root formation with the middle number being 20.
On March 28th the other rows were tilled - snap beans, squash and zucchini were planted. A few days later my step son planted the cantaloupe was planted. On April 3rd the field corn was planted.
As of April 6th, 2010 the snap beans are 3 - 4 inches tall with new sprouts coming through the ground.
Here is a picture of the snap beans.
In all, 3 rows of snap beans were planted - these are high producing plants that will need to be picke every couple of days. Three families will be sharing this garden, so I wanted to make sure that we had plenty of beans, which are really good boiled with some potatoes.
In May the okra will be planted.
