2013 gardens

[Olly]

The area I want my garden in has a stump and if I end the garden next to the stump it'd be 75x25 but I could make it 75x40ish if that stump wasn't there. Would you guys just go around it? I know it'd be a bitch to cut up the roots.

[one2many]

just go around it,unless you have a backhoe handy

[rebelp74]

Remove it you can. Man up on it!

Garden in the rain. They always look better in the rain.

looking great ASSA, what is that directly behind your garden?

Oats. They should be getting cut here in about two weeks or so. Then beans go in. I hate bean years. I prefer the wall of corn, that is the best privacy fence ever invented.

Leave it. Plant cucumbers all around that bitch, and then train them up and over it. That way you're not wasting dirt space for the cukes, and saving yourself a great deal of aggravation as well.

ok i was thinking winter wheat but couldnt see it very well(i never wear my glasses) i didnt plant any oats this year but even if i had it wouldnt be ready to go this early.pretty mild climate there?

and you are so right about the corn fence.

That's gonna be a bigass garden. Better be ready to can.

This is the area I'm going to be working with. I'd get the extra 10ft if that damn stump wasn't there (yellow arrow).

In that photo you're looking north so the sun comes up and give that corner a good 6-7 hours of light a day. That's the ONLY area in my yard that gets more than an hour or two of direct sunlight.

[Olly]

Pretty much that corner is the best I got haha.

WOW! I wouldn't want to be the so of a bitch that has to pay the bill on that propane pig, hope is your neighbors!

[assateague]

Unfortunately, that's mine. I'm a little upset that they won't let me paint it. It looks like a bag of broken assholes, right now, and I'd like to spruce it up a bit.

Can you build something around it?

and you are so right about the corn fence.

It's very mild, and the last two years have been milder than most. Usually, the winter wheat is ready to go in about 2-3 more weeks.

Probably not. Something about "access", and "it's not your tank, sir". I was gonna paint it like my hybrid. But when they said no, I asked if I could just repaint it white. Nope.

plant around it or build a cheap fence, the driver ain't gonna say shit and if he does tell the company to get fucked

[jehler]

Shit like that hits a nerve, as
Much money as you give those cockfuckers, and on your land

[one2many]

paint it anyway. i find its best not to ask for permission.
a couple neighbors around here painted theirs up nice, one was a watermelon and one was an ear of corn.
if i was at all artistic i would paint mine

Yea I hope it works out, I will probably end up making the garden smaller than my ambitions when I actually start tomorrow.

Tillers in new ground tend to kick one's ass. Especially with trees around.

Troof, I had to turn under a bunch of weeds and grass that are coming back with a vengeance.

Yea I went and broke out the pick, ax, and chainsaw... It's gonna be a long weekend.

[Olly]

First pass done. I took Assa's advice and just went around the stump.

[assateague]

That looks pretty damn good for a first pass. Thinking about it, you may have to buy done bigger pepper plants, because jalapeños take a while, and it's getting late. You'll be fine on pretty much everything else, though.

Paint it and don't say a word. If they ask say "I dunno, must've been vandals". What are they gonna do about it, take it away from you?

Or, just wave the wet paint brush in their faces and tell em to eat a bag o dicks.

[aunt betty]

Paint the tank to look like a bar b que smoker. That'd teach em.
lol
orrr write bomb on it in big red letters.
