365.44 The plants are in the ground

We finally had some spare time to get the tomato and squash in the ground. It was only supposed to be a few plants of each.
I ended up with 24 tomato plants and 4 squash.
Not too bad for what little bit of space we had to work with this year.

The ground is freshly tilled with all those leaves I hauled out of the front yard for two solid days.

We let the ground rest last year and didn't put down a garden. I think with that and the fact that this was once part of the chicken yard, will help me get some really nice, huge, juicy tomatoes.

The squash are in the mounds and hopefully we will have quite a bit to eat this year.

In about a month the plants will be so tall and bushy that you won't even be able to see the ground anymore. This is my favorite part, right after they go in the ground, when you can see the growth process.
We have to go this weekend to get some oyster sacks from the local shop to put down around the plants and then it's just lots of water, some side dressing every once in a while and nice big, fat, juicy, fresh home grown tomatoes in a couple of months.

Yeup, this is how we roll at the Funky Falana Farm!

 See ya nerds!
