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.

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.
