ok well its time and has been many years since I have planted ANYTHING. The last time I remember planting was when I was around 14 I'm 33 now and can't remember how and when Grandpa did it. I have tilled the ground and getting ready to lay out rows.I only plan on fertilizing hear the plant as this is a small garden that will be worked mostly by hand. What are thoughts on when and how to fertilize? I got some cow manure and 10-10-10 to do it with. My thoughts is to lay out rows, put fertilizer in rows, cover, then put seed near fertilizer a few days later.I will be experimenting with my mixes over the next couple years to get it rite for a good harvest. gonna try to get my 2 girls involved so they can see where it comes from and maybe try some new things to eat. Even let them pick seed they wanted like sun flowers and giant pumpkins that are advertised to weigh in at 100 lbs. my home is in central Ga. and kinda remember granddad planting around good Friday, he trusted the farmers almanac but I am having a hard time understanding how he figured out the what,when,and how much to do.

Thanks guys,Roy

Not sure of the GA climate conditions this time of year but generally you can plant after danger of frost and when the soil has warmed up sufficiently for seeds to germinate. Or if starting indoors or putting in nursery bought plants, after the frost danger. Best bet is to look up a University extension website like Link Have fun !!

Dont put the fertaliser down until the plants are up 6 - 8", then sprinkle lightly on the side..... be careful with 10 nit., very hot...it will grow large plants, no help for produce.....

Chemical fertilizer will burn seed and kill plants if too much is used.Its better to side dress corn after its 6 in high.

My self I will not use fertilizer that you buy. I use horse manure and lay it on the ground then till it in. I then let it sit a couple weeks if the weather lets me and then till it again to kill off the weeds that start to grow. I've been doing this now for 10 plus years and always have plants that go crazy. Had squash plants that where about 3-4 tall last year and had squash coming out my ears LOL. Plus corn matos etc etc.

Agree with you about horse manure. At one time I had a large rose bed with over 50 roses. They couldn't get enough of the horse manure. Had roses that would knock your socks off. Also shoveled it into sacks and brought it to my FIL for his garden. It out did the cow manure and doesn't seem to burn. Plants can't get enough of it.

Ya thats the nice thing about horse manure you can put it on fresh and it will not burn the plants. I have tried goat, cow and chicken manure but all of them would burn the plants but for some reason the horse manure doesn't
