This is what I was doing over Valentine's Day. Ready for another season of gardening and playing in the dirt :)

No where near big time like you full timers but enough to keep me and tractors playing in the dirt.

2nd pic - this is looking primarily NW.
Dirt looks real nice here but it is wet. Normally gray looking and very sandy.

Well at least yours is moist. Mine is adobe clay and clay lome. Or you can go to one of the grass fields that is so sandy that you can't keep water in it. You guys are so lucky. Once I get it in then its fertilize, and water. and water, and water, harvest, and fertilize and water and water. Then kill the gophers because they are allowing your water to flood the neighbors arena. Then you water and water and harvest, The get the sulfur down and the blue green algae then you water and you water and you water and then you harvest and unlike you all for about a week we do an anti rain dance. Harvest, water,water. Well you get my point. That's beautiful country for the farmer back there.
 
I would like to have my potatoes in the ground, but it is too wet here on Lookout Mtn.(Northwest Georgia} Last year I had them in the ground on the 20th of Feb. Only have cabbage and onions in raised beds. I plant Pontiacs and keneback potatoes. Rodney
 
Pulpwood. Mainly rust resistant slash pine. Grows real fast and straight. No limbs but on the top (crown). All planted in rows just like corn - see overhead view. Pics are from some thinning done last yr. My property boundaries are large pines - look almost like Bull Pine (20"+ diameter).

See link for more details on typical routine for N. FL pulpwood.
