Mud

After 5" of rain this last weekend, its a bit muddy out there. We planted a row of sweet william, rudbeckia (my favorite), and snapdragon.

Everything I Planted Last Week is Germinating! Yeah!

Beets.

Marquee de Provence pumpkin.

Sugar baby watermelon. Yum! Can't wait for that.

Cowpeas.

Everything I Planted Last Week is Germinating! Yeah! Cont.

Cucumber on right and radish on left. Radish keeps away the cucumber beetle.

Jacob's Cattle beans.

Casino Gold corn.

Swiss chard.

Yippee!

I just got my letter from the Growers' Market. It says I have no limitations on what I can sell. Yippee! So much better than last time when I couldn't sell tomatoes, eggplant, and peppers. Woohoo! I'm so excited! Now just waiting to get my application accepted for becoming Certified Naturally Grown.

The Garden is Coming Along

Broccoli plant.

Strawberries are looking good.

Irrigation.

Animals on the Farm

The goats grazing. Pretty day.

Ms. Maddie (the livestock guard dog) looking regal.

The Garden, Strawberries, and James on Grandpa's Tractor

Back to the farm! Several rows are already planted. ;-) So excited!

Strawberries I just planted! I couldn't believe I had that many. I took some from the community garden last year. I think I only took a tenth of what was there. So many. Yeah! They are so yummy too.

James on Grandpa's tractor. He wouldn't look at me while I took pictures though. Oh well. He had fun bringing the loader up and down, up and down.

Planted Two Rows In The Garden

Well, I planted my first two rows in the garden. Will get pictures up on Friday. ;-)
