Smack dab in the middle of planting. So far we are complete on getting the snow peas, green peas, and soy beans into the ground. Here's a lil' story. I've allocated approx. 5,200 row feet for this year, broken up into 52 100' rows.
Pro-Tip: One normal size seed package of Soy beans contains about 50 seeds. So...uh....at the recommended seed spacing of 1 per 4" that's, well it's about 20 feet. That's 0.01% of our available row space. Kinna a little less than I'd imagined. So, I reckon I'll just let all glorious 20' of them go to seed so that next year I can plant FORTY FEET of SOY BEANS and then the NEXT year I can plant EIGHTY FEET of soy beans and THEN in year 4 I'll get to plant a whole row of soy beans. Lesson learned: buy your soy bean seed by the 1/2 pound unless you're growing on an apartment balcony.
