    yep, that's him

    I adore, respect and love him more every day and we are in our 11th year of marriage, I could go on, but don't want to get too mushy on ya in a garden thread, lol

    DH is out in the garden using our large propane tank burning the weeds so I don't cry over them or have to resort to chemicals (which goes against my grain), am sure he has other things he would rather do, so
    what's not to luv?

    Gardengal... yep, it's well worth the money if it lets us keep being able to grow our food, huh? And it would be easy enough to add more padding... JoAnnes Fabrics (among many other sources) sell various thicknesses and grades of foam, and heavy vinyl or urethane fabric.

    For planting rows of beans, peas (and even cukes, squash, etc if you aren't planting them on black plastic or landscape fabric mulch- I grow all my vines on plastic... I just can NOT keep up with them any other way), these seeders are worth every single penny!

    I only use them for beans, peas and corn, but I've planted an acre of corn with one (when our tractor mounted 2 row planter wasn't working right... it's at our Amish neighbor's repair shop so I'm hoping I can go back to that... it's definitely MUCH faster! LOL!)

    But man, they are SO quick and efficient. In fact, it takes me longer to dump out the few extra beans or peas when planting a pound of them than it does to plant them. No need to hoe out a trough, either... just till up the ground fairly well and set a string (if you want a straight row!) then follow the string with the planter. You plant as fast as you can walk, and NO bending!

    I have all the plates, but really only use the corn, beans and pea plates. I grow things like carrots, beets, radishes, etc in wide rows, and broadcast the seeds. But for people who like to grow those in single rows, too, it would save tons of time.

    I scored one of the seeders at an auction a few years ago for $5 including 6 plates. Ordered all the rest, so I have a complete set "just in case" one of these days I HAVE to go back to row planting for volume. I could probably use it for beans and corn in my 8' beds, may have to give that a try.

    we got ours last season and what a time and back saver!
    worth every penny, but planting a whole row of seeds goes so quickly, it almost feels like cheating, lol
