Okay, it took me most of the day - - and this is only 1/3 of the garden, but I felt accomplished since it's better than what I was doing
....which was nothing.
My plan it to do the rest this coming weekend. 
That way I can do that thing in Austin on Saturday the 18th, and go and see Max Payne Sunday 19th without having it hang over my head.

Tilled and Prepped the rows - ready for covering

Covered, planted, and installed hoops for row covers.

and then it's MOJITO & Sergio Mendes time :-)

That's just 1/3 of it. The garden is about 40x50, and that's as much as I can care for. It's not always 100% planted, but in winter it is.

I can drink two - I'm a total lightweight.

40x50!? That is so huge...! What do you do with all that food? You must produce enough to open your own Farmer's Market! wow.... like what can you grown all winter there? What a great deal to grow outside all winter... wow

All cool season veggies will grow all winter here. Some of the more tender ones I cover during the frost, but they do fine too.

I rarely buy veggies in the winter - I also freeze/dry/can a good supply for myself. The rest I give away. I thought of growing for the farmers market - - but it's too much hassle as a hobby.

If I didn't have to worry about dental/medical insurance, I'd definitely do it full-time; I'm sure I'd be good at it.

You would be good at that! With that amount of space you must have TONS Of food... so carrots, beets, onions, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflour, kale, chard... lettuce? spinach, garlic, what am I forgetting? all of that stuff... now I am so envious of a WHOLE new garden you're starting as mine is ending... hopefully my greenhouse garden will work for some winter things. Can you do squash or tomatoes in winter?
