Growing a vegetable garden

Fresh Vegetables ImageStarting, growing and caring for a vegetable garden is a lot easier than you may think.  Nature does most of the work for us.  My goal is to show you just how easy it can be by "keeping it simple".  Sunlight, nutrients, water, weed and insect control are some of the things we'll cover both on the site and in our videos.  Although I try to use as few chemicals as possible this is not 100% organic gardening.

We'll sometime cover other subjects such as Canning and freezing vegetables, Cajun cooking, equipment maintenance, gardening tools and a few homemade items that make the job just a little easier.

Starting your seeds indoors

Almost time to start your Tomatoes, Peppers and Eggplant.

Tip:  A decent starter mix, seeds, pots or containers are the easy items to get.  One of the biggest problem is giving those seedlings enough light.  Grow lights are good but I consider natural sunlight the best.  A small greenhouse works real well, so does a south facing window in the house.  If the little plants start getting leggy they’re not getting enough.    

 

Easy Change Hitch for your tractor

Easy Change HitchIf you change tools on your tractor as often as I do in a day you know when I say, "there's got to be an easier way".  With the Easy Change Hitch (simply attached to the lift arms on your tractor) you can save lots of time, effort and aggravation.  You can get em for Cat. I, II, III or a combination of each.  I used them in most of the 2010 season and really loved em.  If you own non standard Category tools they are a must have addition to your tractor.
