Haven't done a thing ?
With a new home and with raw hardpan land, I haven't even started a plant..... but wait. I just drove by Linc Mettlers patch and noticed eight hoop houses..... boy it got me going.
The weather is so cold, I think I still can get in the competition this year. I purchased 110 yards of topsoil and 40 of it was of a vegetable garden grade.
If I can get done with the other 300 "Honey do items" I should be able to start a seed. My youngest brother wants to give it a try at his new home. I will give him some of Shellie Cramer's 416 seeds I have in the fridge. I want to use them, but he has that hungry eye to grow a large one.
