Finished prepping the garden yesterday. This is the quickest, throw down garden I’ve ever done. Not much time for it these days. Disked it up with the small tractor, ordered 10 yds of garden soil and topped off each row with it. Didn’t even till it in as my tiller needs a new engine. Used the single row hipper to mix it in somewhat. Got the cucumbers planted.
Worked on a flower bed project this weekend. Wife is going to put drift roses in it. Finished up the drip tape irrigation on the garden.
Sprayed Roundup around the yard. I got about half done.
Seasoned up 4 large chicken breasts seasoned with just pepper & rosemary, They're on the smoker over apple wood coals.

Formed & fertilized the spaghetti squash row. Then planted, watered & mulched.
Kids are out for Spring break this week. Olivia was bored so I uncovered a potato in the row to show her the roots coming in. Well, it was a treasure hunt after that. I think she found all 25 of them hahahaha!
Cut the grass.
Refilled the redbird feeders.

Got a 3D printer running in the shop. My first experience with these machines. I have a complex part I need to build for a new machine that’s in the works.
Did the weekly shopping at 3 stores. Then I filled my tank, YOWZA!!! It has doubled in a year...

That's pretty cool.........
Made a lemon cake with lemon frosting for the lil' gal down the road.
I seasoned up some pork country ribs that will I'll put on the smoker for supper. Mrs. Ranch is making 'twice baked' potatoes & some stuffed japs to go with them.
Cleaned/sanded/painted an old milk jog that I use this as a plant stand on the back porch.

I guess we are planting tomatoes and peppers today. My worker brought me some Trinidad Scorpion pepper seeds a few months back, so that should be interesting. Wife said her fingers were hot just from handling the seeds when she planted them.
The 3D part finished up yesterday. I’m running the machine 24/7 to get as much practice in as possible before I buy a big machine.

What type of fertilizer am I supposed to use on potatoes? It’s been so long since I grew them I can’t remember
I apply 13-13-13 four times per season, once at planting, & then every 3 weeks until harvest. I also throw wood ashes on them.
As a rule of thumb, potato plants have a greater need for Nitrogen (N-P-K 34-0-0) during the first two months when the foliar part of the plant develops rapidly. From the second month until two weeks before harvest, the plants need more potassium (12-12-17 or 14-7-21).

Did the final weeding of the onion patch this morning. That should carry them through until harvest. Looks like it will be a decent crop this year.
Made bread.
Mulched 2 rows & 3 pathways.
Then spent the afternoon on the back porch with Mrs. Ranch & Dieter.
