looks really nice man, cant wait to see it done and growing. i noticed the corn looks like your doing one long row is this correct?
ive always read and been told corn should be planted in rows with a few behind and a few in front as well to ensure pollination f every thing.
like have one long row and then 1 foot behing that another row and maybe one more. if that makes sense.

Most likely I'll be staggering the corn and tomatoes but the program wouldn't let me put it in that way.
It's pretty much a rough version for me to work off of that'll change as I plant.

McPurple is correct on the corn better to have the first 10 plants in the first 4 or 5 rows in order for the corn to polinate properly. I was just going to puthtem in 2 full rows then I read up on it some and found that corn does better bunched up rather than spread out. So I switched my plans up and hopefully it works out well. lol

Just finished up planting and transplanting everything for the garden. I had a few extra rows so some of the stuff that were originally going to have short rows became full rows.
I threw in a pic of the little strawberry bed I built today and all a couple of the apple trees I planted a few days ago.
Everything seems to be doing alright and the weather here should be good for the next few days so hopefully it'll the plants settle in.

Thank you, and yeah the weather is finally getting pretty decent here. It's going to be in the high 70's for the next few days with light overcast and no rain so I had to rush to get everything planted while it was nice. The weather this year has been really weird here in the midwest and it's kinda throwing off our grow season.

Sounds like a sweet job and possibly a good learning experience. You'll definitely be busy with all that planting but at least you'll be outside for the most part.

Here's a few more pics I took this morning. In the pics are the corn, tomatoes, radishes, potatoes, and lettuce.
The tomatoes, peppers and melons were burnt really bad from a heat wave we had come through just after transplant but it looks like the tomatoes and peppers are healing alright, I'm not sure if the melons will be any good this year though.

Yep, those are my daughters strawberries, we're hoping to fill that box with plants next year and throw a few more fruit trees behind the garden.
I pulled quite a few radishes yesterday and planted a few more in there place. I'm not a huge fan of radishes but they turned out really good, really crisp with a good flavor.

well most strawberries make babies after fruiting, so you should have more strawberry plants by the end of the year, some types create runners and some produce new plants threw the rhizomes, i have both but the runners seem to produce way more new plants, my berries in my 5 gal pot have made about 15 new plants for me already, im not a huge fan of radishes either but some times i like to nibble on tem. hae you ever had a watermelon radish, they are by far my favorite, when small they are kinda spicy but i found the bigger they get the sweeter they get to.
