First at the farm; Steve has turned the soil 3 times now with his tractor, and is planning to turn it a couple more times too. Here is how it looks so far!
It looks really great but the soil is still too wet, when you walk on it it is a quagmire. It should be only a few more weeks and I should be able to start seeding and planting though. I can't wait. I've calculated that I will have approximately 44 beds in this one area alone! They will fill up pretty quickly though with all that I have planned.Below is my newest piece of property that I am working with. This is at the home of Tim and Wendy Turner, who have kindly allowed me to use it and are very supportive of my venture. The beds are brand new and were started by Tim with lots of compost and leaves and then some soil was brought in to fill the beds. These beds are already full of seedlings that I transplanted from the greenhouse since this pic was taken. I forgot to take a new pic - silly me. Next week!
Below are some assorted pictures I took in the greenhouse yesterday.
As well as the cold-hardy plants I've started some warmer weather loving plants such as tomatoes, eggplants, pepper, melon, summer squash, and zucchini. Some of these will be potted up and stay in the greenhouse, but others will be planted outside once the soil is warmed up enough.
Enjoy the sun!
