Mom taught me to love gardening, and this year I've put more work into the soil than ever before. The white and yellow coastal sand has taken 9 years to amend using various methods. I started three weeks early this year and it has paid off! Due to the lack of space the garden gets turned and then planted as deep as possible. Now the area averages three feet of good soil. There are 50 potato plants, 50 onions, 25 okra, hundreds of Bush bean plants, 20 cucumbers, and thanks to my new neighbor a ton of awesome tomatoes! He grew them from baker creek rare seeds, and that is definitely the way to go. Atomic grape, Dr. Witchey's, tie dyes and ponderosas aren't my usual early girl, better boy and beef steak varieties. Most of the tomatoes are in containers, it's amazing how a 45 gallon pot can grow 8 foot tall plants! I picked beans till my back hurt and filled two gallon bags, then decided to take a couple of new potatoes from the tops of a couple of plants. Now if I could just keep the hurricanes away for another two months!

After a long day of work at the garden center all I want to do is come home and work on the garden. Yea I love working the land also! Can't wait to see the pics. Amazing you are already picking beans we just had a freeze in early May here in WNC. Baker Creek is my favorite seed company as well. I'm obsessed with growing obscure winter squash varieties.N.C. from the mountains to the sea
