Whats everyone got planned this spring? I let the garden go dormant this past fall except for the asparagus that keeps on growing & expanding. Had some time this weekend to get it all cleaned up and ready for a spring planting. Hit the store on Sunday and picked up some seeds. Decided we are going to try some watermelon this year, a smaller variety. I do not have much luck with any type of vine on the ground but my son made his pick. Other than that sticking with the basics.. maters, bell & jalapeno peppers, okra and collards. We plant large sunflowers every year for my wife in remembrance of her late mother.
For the last 2 years or so I have been working on this no till gardening method and between the old mulch, grass clippings and leaves, the surface of my garden is easily 10 inches above my boxes. Sure is nice not having to pull weeds anymore. Going to start the seeds this week and be in the ground next month sometime.
Tilled up and wife planted peppers tomatoes, beans peas and potatoes. Have broccoli still going and cabbages
Can't wait had great tomatoes this year.
It's a little early and way too wet here in the Panhandle, but I'm more than ready. Glad to see the topic on the forum, it's always good to see and read about a good garden!

In a couple of weeks when it gets a little warmer, I am going to be planting some silver queen corn, bells, egg plant, purple beans , zucchini, some straight neck yellow squash, cucumbers, sugar baby water melons and a few sangria water melons. Putting tomatoes in the buckets.
I do not have to till this round since I used a pvc pipe drip irrigation over the winter. After using a hoe between the rows a couple of times it eliminated (80%) of the weeds. So this time, just have to hoe where the pipe was and prep the new design.
Going to be interesting to see how well pvc pipe drip system works on the spring garden. It sure was nice only getting water to the plants and not the weeds over the winter.
Beans and tomato grafts in the ground.
