Well, that's what they say about dogs. Just thought I would extrapolate a mite.
Planted 10 rows in the garden today. About 100 feet long, each row. Put in four rows of corn, four rows of green beans and a couple of rows of butterbeans.
I'm a tired dog.
Hope it doesn't rain tonight. If it doesn't, I'll stir about daylight and get going. I've still got three rows of peas to do.

I'm planting a bit more than usual. Don't have chickens right now, so I'm using the yard fence as a cucumber trellis. Planted a half dozen yellow crookneck squash in my small raised bed, will be planting a half dozen banana peppers in another. Got a half dozen eggplant seedlings that I'll put in the ground in a couple of weeks. Put ten tomatoes in the ground Saturday and I'm hardening off another ten.
I'm waiting for hotter weather and then I'll plant my okra.

@Copper said in A tired human is a good human.:
That is a lot of planting.
How do you sow the seed?By hand or machine?
Usually, I chop my ground with my tractor and discs, then row it up with a set of hippers behind the tractor. I'll fertilize all rows and use pre-emerge on the rows that need it, then incorporate with my rear-tine tiller. Usually I plant using one of these:
This year, I've had a tough time, because of the way the rain fell. This week, through Good Friday, the signs are right, so I needed to get seeds in the ground. My ground has a lot of clay, so I couldn't get my garden in quite the shape I wanted in the time I had...A bit too many clods to use the seeder. So, I did it the old timey way with a hoe and a garden rake.
I planted three 100' rows of field peas this morning.

BTW, the raised beds are all done by hand. You can raise an amazing amount of food in raised beds.

That is awesome Jolly! I would like to see when they grow up.
