This season marks the beginning of something real. The ground is waiting, the weather’s coming fast, and the possibilities — while few — feel big. We’re heading into Planting Season 2024 with a short list, some borrowed wisdom, and what we hope will be the right equipment to get the job done.
Tools (Hopefully) in Place
We’ve got a tractor and a tiller lined up — whether the two will work together is still up for debate. If it all connects and runs clean, we’ll be breaking real ground this spring. If it doesn’t… well, we’ll still be breaking ground, just slower and with more blisters.
The 2024 Crop Lineup
- Provider Green Beans: Reliable, direct-seed beans that give us early returns and teach us spacing and harvest cycles.
- Sugar Snap Peas: Cool-weather climbers we’re hoping to get in early — tasty for us and goat-approved for leftovers.
- Corn: A big gamble crop. If we can get it in before the heat takes over and the pests find it, it could give us solid returns.
- Purple Hull Peas: Southern staple, hardy in rough soil, and a good test of timing, pest control, and patience.
Approach and Mindset
This isn’t a full-market garden or a rotational master plan. This is four crops, a tractor we’re still figuring out, and a patch of land that we’re finally calling ours. The goal is simple: grow something from nothing, learn from the effort, and lay down roots — figuratively and literally.
Expectations
No illusions here — we know it won’t all go perfectly. But if even a few rows come up, if we get to shell a few peas and snap a few beans by hand, that’ll be more than enough proof that we’re on the right track. One seed, one pass with the tiller, one season at a time.
