Saturday Farm Journal



yes, its fuzzy

Not much happened in the garden for the last two weeks. It's been raining and then there was a threat of frost, so we put off planting until yesterday. We planted four dozen different tomato plants: roma, beefsteak, and super sweet; two dozen green peppers; six green cabbage; six red cabbage; and six Brussels sprouts. We weren't planning on planting cabbage, but the new part of the garden is wetter than expected and cabbage supposedly likes it wet, we'll see what happens. This week the plan is to plant the seeds: pumpkin, zucchini, summer squash, other squashes, cucumbers, beans, sunflowers, carrots, and beets.

 The blueberries are looking great and so are the pear trees. The blossoms have all fallen off the pear trees and now it's just a waiting game. I tell the daycare kiddos each year that the pears will be ready by the time they go to school in the fall, but I wonder where everything has been a bit early if they will be too.


In other farm news, the chickens and ducks have arrived. I will dedicate a full post to them next week.
