3 Since I thought I was going to be board this summer...

Last fall my wonderful father-in-law offered my sister-in-law, Maho, & I a strip of land on his Amalga farm to plan a garden. It sounded great back then, but now I'm getting a bit scared. The garden plot is 35 feet by 140 feet! Maho & I decided to split it down the middle and went to Anderson's Seed and Garden to get our seed yesterday afternoon. We were helped for TWO HOURS by the most helpful man. If you have any questions I highly suggest asking for Dan. So, what are we planting? Well, here's my half:

• 210 feet of corn (3 rows): half yellow Sugar Buns / half bicolor Optimum
• 34 tomato plants: half Better Boy / half Roma
• 3 zuchini sunner squash
  
• 3 fancy crookneck summer squash
• 3 Sweet Meat winter squash
• 4 early Butternut winter squash
• 3 Spaghetti winter squash
• 4 Watermellon
• 3 Cantalope
  
• 3 cucomber
• lots of Onions
• tons of Carrots
• 30 feet potatoes: half yukon golds / half reds (early & late)
  

If that sounds like not enough, don't worry...I still have the following at home:

• miles of strawberries
• letus
• cilantro
• peppers
• cherry tomtoes

Guess what I'll be doing all summer long?

Did you know corn needs to be planted 3 rows deep so that it will cross polinate itself? I didn 't.
