Big Louisiana Pumpkin
Brodie G. from Youngsville, LA is going for the state record on this one.
Although it beat the State record it had a split in it which disqualified it.
Greg S. from Mississippi ... Greg's got a brand new green house sitting on his place. Built it himself and I think he did a real good job.
James sent these real nice pictures of his garden. Good job my friend.
Jeff also submitted some great ideas for the garden. Check out his watering system for tomatoes and his compost trailer. Thanks Jeff, both are outstanding.
Jeff has really improved his row drawing technique.
Busting new ground
Low Tech - Low Maintenance / Using a combination of compost and potting soil to start my seedlings and when planting in the garden when the soil is a little damp.
Same compost pile as above in the winter of 2008.
Started a new compost pile with leaves, grass clippings, newspaper and some greenery from the garden. This one should be ready in the spring of 2010.
