[John Dunlap]

I'm with you Ron. Seems to me every penny I spend at Harbor Freight
goes straight and the gay group now is profiting from my Walmart
purchases

.
To all.....this is my first year to do a large family garden, well
large to me. I am in North Texas and I need input from you experienced
farmers. I'm not looking for cash crops but stuff that'll freeze up
and hold their nutritional value for a while. It will be a version of
Victory gardens, for those of you who remember those. I am
conservative in my politics and this is a driving point also. This
isn't open for political discussions but for family garden and long
term survivability.
Liquid fertilizers or dry, percent of leafy vegies to legumes, stuff
like that. Some stuff will be used to barter and etc. What do you
suggest. I have sandy loam that has been dormant for about 7yrs, as
far as having anything in particular planted. There are remnants of
winter rye on most of the acres as my father in law used to run
cattle.
Would appreciate your input. And you can probably tell from what I am
asking that I really am a novice. I am also using a '51 Harry Ferguson
T30 with it's own implements to ready this field.

Thanks
