The rows are 220 ft. long. 100 plants each @ 2.ft.
That is my Cub Cadet 7260 in the pic. mid sized tractor
I try not to look down the rows when planting ect. otherwise it takes forever to get to the end.

Off to a slow start this year I do not know if all the rain stunted them or my stupidity of not doing a soil test and adding horse crap Like I do every year. The veggy garden is doing good makes me wonder. sorry about the crappy pics but I got a smartphone and i am too dumb to figure it out. I never had a cell phone until a couple months ago.

Looking good. That patch would be the equivalent of my while yard if I did not live on the side of a mountain.

The Izmirs are looking real good. There's plenty of time for a growth spurt. The rain will definitely stunt them though.

Beautiful plants / nice shop and the decoration really gives it life...Ya can smell your tobacco while doing all those important things like drinking a cold one and watching it change color.

LOL. Same here. I'm just glad they started back growing. Mine got about 4' tall eventually. I was scared they were going to bud at 18" so I'm counting my blessings.

It is nice to finally hang some large leaf. The garage is starting to fill up. I can fit about another 6000 leaf. I wish some stems would dry up.
