I play at "farming"--mostly food plots--but I love to see things grow. I have three small rye plantings that are heading out and blossoming. The wheat in my food plot is forming heads and the clover and winter peas are looking good. I'm hoping to get in a stand of corn and cowpeas this week.
The garden is really coming along. I'm just waiting on some squash and watermellon to come up. Spent most of the morning building cages for tomatoes. I used five-foot by 10-foot concrete mesh panels. I split them lengthwise and zip-tied them end to end--one row on each side of the tomatoes--and zip-tied them to stakes. Then I cut notched wood spacers to fit over the wire to keep the width the same and to support the tomatoes. Come fall I can clip the zip-ties and store the panels flat. The spacers are all the same so I can store them in a pail or tub.
