Review of last year

So looking back at last year, I think of things different to do this year.  I caught the tomato blight last year and it killed every plant i had.  Something was also wrong with my peppers but I was never able to figure out what happened.  If you were unfortunate to catch the blight and it was late blight, then you are ok to plant in the same place.  The disease cannot hold through the winter.  Early blight will stick around and I suggest putting the tomatoes somewhere else.

So far I have decided to plant a few different tomato types, some different peppers, radishes, beets, carrots, and corn.  When planting, plant in short rows.  This will ensure proper pollination and save room by planting the similar rows closer together.  Corn I will plant in three rows the length of my garden.  Make sure you plant your corn east to west so when it grows to full height it won't block the sun from other crops.

I also decided I will get a load of manure (horse or cow) for organic fertilizer to start.  If needed, I will apply more during the season.  Make sure the manure is broken down and dirt like so it has the vital nutrients.  You can test the soil if you want.  Many plants like nitrogen or phosphorous.  Read the label to decide.  Let me know what you are going to plant!

I will be posting much more interesting posts when my seed stating begins.  If you have any questions then let me know and I will be glad to answer them!
