We are trying a couple of new things this year. First - we planted corn - two different varieties and about 2 weeks apart. We planted right about the first of March.
Second we decided to grow pole peans instead of bush beans. Well I decided because I am sick of bending over to pick beans and John decided to humor me. So we picked some bamboo from our niece's back yard and created some teepee like structures for the bean to climb up. John nearly slice his arm off while cutting the bamboo so this better be worth it.
Finally we scored some potatoes from Green Corn and even
though we planted w
ay past the recommended time for planting we decided to try anyway. Notice how John dug trenches - the theory is that as the leaves start growing you continue to take dirt and cover as they grow. We will see how it turns out. May not work at all because of the late planting.
We also found a new garden trellis for the cucumbers. Now we have a trellis both both winter squash which you can grow in the spring and fall as well as cucumbers.
The tomatoes are also doing well as you can see some over almost 2 feet tall at the end of march. No tomatoes yet but lots of blossoms.
