Variety in the garden is important. Crop rotation is made easy with planning software. It is simple to layout next year’s garden. Looking back at old notes and gardens, variety is not my strong suit. I seem to plant the same varieties year after year.
This year will be different. Next year will have 1/3 new varieties. Any failed variety gets booted (Brandywine tomato, Gonzalez cabbage, Tomatillo Roma Verde). I will save seed from our best crops and use some swapped seeds from my family.
Row spacing is changing some too. To cultivate between rows, I’d like to buy a cultivator/hiller for the tractor. It uses adjustable tines, disk and blades. We can cultivate our 5 foot row spaces and then also rows space 2 1/2 feet too. It will hill corn in narrow rows and potatoes in wide rows.
Still need to buy and plant onion, shallot and garlic to be planted in the next few months before winter.

People are hungry in Edmond, Oklahoma. There were times as a child that I was hungry. People don't get enough fresh vegetables. It is my hope to provide a source of nutritious fresh food to my community of local food banks, kitchens, friends and family.
The garden sits in the bottom land of Chisholm Creek and has great top soil and a nice flat 1/2 acre for cultivation. We have added a water well, irrigation and electricity.
The setting is my favorite reason to garden here. The old elm tree shades a nice sitting area from which to view the garden and the rich nature that comes and goes in the bottom.

Even in prosperous Edmond, food banks do a steady business serving the poor. Most efforts are operated by volunteers. They almost always need help. Please give cash or volunteer.
