55' x 35'. I will be using a broad fork this year instead of tilling. Considering the world record holder giant pumpkin grower used a broad fork, and grew four over 2000 lbs it is food for thought. A person with a smaller area like mine would be able to do this.

You will figure out a way pizza to work that garden. Nothing will hold you back, especially a thumb. Remember, you are feeling good.

I tilled and made 15 90" rows Monday but that's mostly for okra, beans, squash, peppers and cukes. I have 21 plants in dutch buckets in the greenhouse with another 18 plants either in 5 gallon buckets or 3 gallon containers and finally I up potted 109 tomatoes a few days ago. I also have 25-40 plants each of White Devil's Tongue, Ghost and Kracken Scorpion peppers that will get up potted in a week. It's a busy time to be a gardening junkie.

I love the buckets, the hardest part is set up and them every 2 days you need to clip suckers. I made a bigger green house this year and it's full and I'm eating tomatoes already. I'm gonna pull a few plants out to grow some of Chris's seeds in hydro. I made a video a few weeks ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuPLVq9U2Iw&t=90s

For containers you can get buckets from bakeries and Asian restaurants, they always have plenty and throw them away. The bakery buckets are about 3 gallons and they work great with one plant.
