This year we ordered our plugs from Harris Seeds, http://www.harrisseeds.com. The plugs arrived in perfect condition! Due to our very early spring we immediately began getting them in the ground. 300 tomato, 300 peppers and 550 herbs went in the ground over the course of last weekend (3/30).
As we violated the old southern rule of not planting before Easter we called on our friends at Johnny’s Seeds (http://www.johnnysseeds.com) for their 4′ low tunnel hoop bender and Agribon AG+19 just to be safe. Thus far we have not needed the protection but we are ready.
Speaking of the low tunnel hoop bender, what a great device! We created 50 hoops is just over an hour from 1/2″ EMT. We started our coin jar to save our change to purchase the 6′ low tunnel hoop bender this summer.
While we have just started our 2012 Spring planting season we are already working on adding an acre of speciality cut flowers to our garden in 2013. The beds must be created, organic matter added and the drip irrigation installed. One thing about dreaming big is that there is always good old fashioned hardwork to be done.
Time to grab a hoe, until next time.
