2015 Garden Thread.

I'm afraid I've lost my garden for the year. We have had so much rain that the plants and the veggies on them are rotting. I had tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, cukes, radishes, green beans, zucchini, summer squash, bush squash, onions, kale, carrots and herbs planted. Everything except the herbs, carrots and kale has gone yellow. I'm about to the point of pulling most of it up and re-planting after it quits raining. Good thing about TX is the growing season is long enough to do just that.
It rained so much every thing just died.
I had about 40 to 50 pumpkins about the size of softballs, they just turned to mush, and just dissapeared.
Good luck with the replant.

Here's a pic of my garden back near the middle of April after I plowed and furrowed it with my Gravely walk behind tractor. I have it all planted now and will post another pic tomorrow.

I have one with a bad motor right now. I need to pull it apart but I believe I sheared the main drive shaft. Mine is apparently one of the sought after models because it has the 8 speed trans. What I'm not sure of is the correct way to set the timing. I watch the local guy do it once. I only wish I had asked more questions. I believe he has passed away or close to it. I saw basically his entire shop on eBay being handle by a third party. So if you know how to, please share.
Anyway, I own the 30" bush hog, 40" finish, snow plow, rotary plow like yours a sulky, the saw blade for the 30" and the old cultivator which was made before the rotary plow. I came across a guy who had 2 chainsaws but wouldn't sell me one. I've seen the backhoe once on eBay but they wanted 3500 for it. I still have an idea of where I could find one if I began looking. A ditch witch was on eBay that I would have liked to buy. I saw a log saw for making firewood and a splitter attachment. But my next addition after I get mine running again with be the tiller attachment. I need it with all the clay around here.

Why am I not surprised you have one of the most useful machine ever built?
