Nice Larry !

I'm so busy at work the garden is behind, but It will go in this weekend, including the seeds you sent me.

UD should know, I've got a volunteer summer squash in the weeds that I'll nurture, LOL. Its doing well too. Seed from left over that I let rot there last season. I till in a nice thick green cover crop of young weeds in this patch, pigweed and such, and it really boosts the nitrogen.

Yours looks great as always !
 
Larry- Your garden always looks so nice. I just got in (8:47 pm)from planting 100 lbs of Kinnebec taters....2 1/2 months late! It' been too wet here to even get the dirt ready.

Thanks for your pics!
 
I have a Troy Built Pony and when I first used it when it was new,I thought to my self this thing is JUNK.It would take off in untilled ground no matter depth setting you had it set at.I used to have a old Horse and really liked it.Well I looked it over closely and saw that it just had a slide on the depth control.So I added a spike to the slide rail like my old Horse had on it and that made a good tiller out of it.

I'm looking at late fall harvest, that is if anything grows during the summer.

Hay has already gone to seed and spotty showers continue.
 
the neighbors just planted the community patch last saturday,,a late planting worked out real well last year.I have some early ones planted,,starting to bloom now.Red Norland amd yukon gold
 
They offered a spike like that back in the seventies for the horse model. You could bolt it onto the depth bar. I got one somewhere around here I use to use on mine.
Don't use or need it anymore. My 52 hp tractor along with a 66inch tiller is allot easier on my old body. But I still use my 1977 model horse to do a little cultivating. It started on one pull yesterday. Its on its second engine but doesn't owe me a thing.
 
Mine is about a 76, it takes 3 pulls to start the Tecumseh 6 horse, in the spring, it has every spring since I got it. Hope it works that well for my daughter. I did one garden for a woman down in the village because my grandson who usually does it is in Texas waiting for the rain to stop so he can combine wheat. I told her this was the last time for me custom tilling, then called my daughter and asked her if she wanted a tiller. She now has a new 40 year old tiller.
