planted my trashcan potatoes today. only i guess i threw out my old trashcan that had holes in it. well rather that kill a perfectly good trashcan, i opted for an UN-repairable plastic deer feeder, lol.

put a little plastic and wood over the hole to hold in the dirt.

we're off and running. will add dirt as the plant gets vertical.

Everyone is off to a good start. I have a few pepper sprouts up. I did disc up the garden this morning. I'm thinking about throwing caution to the wind, and planting peas, corn and melons on 2/ 24-25. As well as tomato seeds into trays. Also have lots of Eggplant seeds. I guess I'll try a few of them.

When I was a kid the corn was much harder. It took a week or two to sprout, so we planted in late Feb. These soft corn hybrids sprout in just a few days, so no need to plant quite as early. But the main thing is I just need to get something growing.
my corn hasn't come up, didn't come up inside either.

got backup seeds in route already just in case. i will have sweet corn this year, lol

damn you have nice soil, at least for digging in, our soil is red clay thats more rocks than dirt. a hole that size would take me hours to dig, if i could find a spot that doesn't have boulders in it. thats why i'm very fond of raised beds and container gardening
It's easy to dig, but hell when the rain stops. Can't water enough. We do have some good river bottom land where the 3 year old pines are. It's in the flood plain, and has nice black soil.
