More planting

Amy planted 2 more boxes of carrots, one box of radishes and a row of bush beans (easy for kiddos to pick to eat beans). Don't weed out the new seedlings as they come up!

Pictures From June 24

Nathan, Chris, Jenny, David, Joel, The Wollam Family (did I miss anyone?) and I all made it out at some point Wednesday afternoon/evening. Nathan had quite a few of the onion boxes weeded before I got there so I jumped in and helped him finish those up. Jenny also concentrated on the boxes while I was there helping with the onion boxes and then thinning the turnips. I left after that but from what I hear Joel and Chris both tilled the peppers, the cucumbers, the squash, the potatoes. The tomatoes and some of the beans were weeded and the rest of the beans strung up. That is when Joel left so I'm not sure what else got done or what needs to go onto the to-do list.

That's going to be a lot of salsa and tomato sauce! Chard

Now that the corn is all weeded and thinned maybe it will grow, grow, grow.

The beans are climbing quite nicely.

Chris planted the basil along with more cabbage, parsnips and I believe one other item that has slipped my mind.

Now what did you guys break?

Things are growing

Here are some pictures Jenny took after our work nights.

We had alot of progress last week on our 2 work nights. We thinned, tilled and weeded around almost everything. And we strung up most of our beans.

Last night Joel and Chris worked on fixing the irrigation (expect to see changes). Terry pulled up the mesculin since it had all gone to seed. The radishes will be pulled up soon as well. The rest of the lettuce needs to be eaten soon - not long until it goes to seed.

June 2 - lots of pictures

Last weekend was a busy and productive weekend once again, here is an excerpt from an email that Amy sent out,

We got a lot done tonight! We planted cantaloupe, watermelon, pumpkins, winter squash, more dill seeds, one more row of pickling cucumbers, eggplant and peppers....lots of peppers. We have bell peppers, pepperoncini, sweet banana, Anaheim, early jalapeno & habenero. We reseeded the squash mounds that only had 1-2 coming up, finished to potato rows and tilled between them. We have potatoes we actually saw them! They look great!

And we weeded some more...lots of weeds :(

I was out watering this morning so I took a bunch of pictures to document the progress...

I love these sprinklers.
Of all the sprinklers, these are my favorite.
The weeds however, are definitely not my favorite.

One box at a time, we will conquer those darn weeds.
Look at how big the onions are getting!

Pepper Patch

Lettuce that needs to be harvested.
Pick the larger outside leaves, the center will continue to produce more until it gets too hot and they go to seed.

Mixed green harvest for our salad tonight.

Radishes are ready.
We will plant more once these are gone so eat up!
