Late Garden

I'm running behind on everything this year. I finally worked the garden up a few days ago. I used the old White to bust it up, and the D10 to smooth it out. It was a lot of fun playing in the dirt!

I think I need one of those 3 point roto tillers. I got the plow out long time back and plowed a couple food plots in the deer hunting pasture, plowed my garden and the daughters garden. Then disced them all with the old junk 3 point disc. It was almost too wet when I plowed, but breaking it up right away seem to help keep down on big clods.
 I have green beans up, second planting started up but moles musta ate half the seed. It's been dry mostly for a while so yesterday , with the threat of rain, I got some beans buried to fill in the gaps in half the late crop.
 I put carrots and cucumbers seeds in, but only  seen one cuc up so far. Tomato plants are alive, but not  too far along. I killed off all my seed start broccoli and most of my maters by setting them out in full sun too long the first time. Lesson learned I guess.
 I do have 2 of the heirloom Brandywine mater plants, and the neighbor gave me an heirloom black tomato plant.
  I filled the west half of my garden patch with "Indian" corn and sunflowers. They have come up pretty sparsely too .  I also no tilled sunflowers on the edge of my CRP patch with the 2 row 7000 but haven't seen emergence yet.
 I also have two potato plants as an experiment. One in a bale of straw and one in the dirt next to it. Both in the wifes "flower" garden-weed patch. I have burned it off with my new propane torch once, but need to do it again to get more of the weeds under control.
 WOW, just thinkin about all this made me tired

5' rototiller is the ONLY way to go ! Just wish I had more land to play in.....10 passes and I'm done for the year, sigh...

What Model White is that?

It is a 2-60 Field Boss. 1978 model. It has a 60hp Fiat engine. It's similar to an Allis Chalmers 5050, same sheet metal, similar fiat engine. The Allis had a three cylinder engine, the White has a four. There is several of these Fiat tractors as I call them, there's a Long, Hesston, even Oliver, maybe others. My Father bought that tractor new. I remember driving it around the dealer lot with him when I was a kid. A few years later I was in a wreck on that tractor. A guy hit me in the back end. It totaled the truck, only damage to the tractor was it knocked the back tire off the rim and bent the rim. I think I was twelve at the time, it was my first accident. That tractor also has a White loader on it. I also have the grill. Its made out of plastic and broke up a little. I keep it off so I don't damage it more. I plan to fix it with fiber glass, just one of the things on the to do list.

Mine grew up in grass again. I had to re-till it. I've got seed in the ground now, and about 10 tomato plants. It could use a good rain now. I planted mostly seed I had on hand. I'm not sure how old they were, I hope everything comes up. Good luck on your garden Hubert.
