The farmer has his big Red machines in the field across the road ready to plant.

Are you planting?
 
Yes peaches and cherry.
Sid that a month ago.
Looking good.
Need to spray after done blooming.
 
Around here we plant sugar cane in August/September; Strawberries in October and November; and pine trees in the winter.
Very little if any corn/beans grown around here. That is more of a Mississippi river delta area in the northern part of the state.
But if you were to grow corn here you better have it in the ground by now or the heat of summer and bug population will get you before you could harvest a crop.
 
80's and windy here.
I was thinking if you maybe should install drain tile in your garden?
 
Garden sits at a slant so water runs off but it also has a lot of organic material in it so it hold some water. If I had just one more dry day I could till it but there calling for rain and storms tonight and tomorrow
 
Its not really a annual.
Pounds of sugar per acre go down each year so they replant it.
Around here they get 3 cuttings and 1 year fallow.
A 4 year cycle.
Once you get far enough south you pass the no frost line they stretch it out to 4 cuttings and 1 year fallow.
 
If you complain it's too wet, slant or no slant, tile it..
Add a little sand. Put tile down, rocks then topsoil.
 
I just tried to till the up garden spot. It is where an above ground pool sat years ago and I had a truck load of sand put in that area. It was to wet as in grab a hand full of dirt and you could ball it up into a mud ball. So the problem isn't my garden area it is the fact we have been getting a lot of rain and little drying time between rains
 
We've had rain too, Farmers are still planting today and dust is flying. We have 2 ft of topsoil and then sand and gravel at least 70 ft I know of.

Add sand and gravel then put the garden on top of it..
 
As I said I have added a full tandem axle truck load of sand. Wen you get an inch of rain then 1 or 2 days with out rain and then another inch or more the ground simply doesn't have the time it needs to dry out.
