We've been doing a variety of things over the past few days; planting, shoveling, planting, shoveling, and even a bit more planting. Oh, and today we did some shoveling and drilling...no planting though.
All of the trays in the right center are corn!! Then we planted a huge variety of melons, broccoli, basil, and other yummy stuff. :)
The green plants sticking out of the red tarp are tomatoes- they are starting to blossom!
Mona also got some new additions (10 of 'em) to add to the turkeys and guinea hens... cute little chickens (who should grow up to be grasshopper eating, laying hens)!!
Yesterday started out misty with a drizzle of rain but within a few hours it turned into a crazy wind storm with just enough rain to make us call it quits for the day. But...not before we got to dig up some fence stakes and gather all of the fencing that was supposed to keep some little trees safe but ended up as what I like to refer to as cow art.I also got to drive around 'the mule', which is kindof a cross between a 4-wheeler and a jeep...overall pretty fun, especially in the mud!
The absolute best part of yesterday was receiving a 'care package' from some family back home...it contained some yummy coffee, DVD's, cake, and other random delights!! Thanks for making our rainy day fun!!!!

I am loving the updates, the pics, and seeing your smiling face. You guys are awesome.
ReplyDeleteWe got our square foot gardens ready last week, so we are ready to plant!
I can't wait for fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, 2 of my favorite fresh things from the garden!
thanks Jena- it sounds like you are doing pretty amazing things as well!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the fresh tomatoes- is there anything better??
