February Garden Update

I spent a few hours today working on prepping our garden for spring planting. We just bought a new 7hp Craftsman tiller from sears and it worked great. I tilled in a layer of leaves and broke ground on an area that we are adding on bringing our garden to about 60 ft x 30 ft. Compared to the typical Georgia red clay we have great dark soil and we are continuing to add compost making it even better. Our seeds that we started inside a few weeks ago are going great. The four varieties of tomatoes we started are really getting big. We also have peppers, brocolli, other seedlings that will be ready to go in the ground in a few weeks.
