Last Week of July

We've been getting quite a bit of rain lately. This has made it a difficult year to make hay.

The wheat should be ready to harvest in a few weeks.

The oats and peas are just about ready also.

The potatoes are doing well this year.

Our corn is over seven feet tall in some places, warm weather and rain have made for an ideal growing season.

We've been picking tomatoes in the the greenhouse for a couple weeks now.

July 19-25

Our largest pigs are in the 200 + pound range. Here they are enjoying fresh pasture.

The freezer building is coming along.

The First Week of July

We recently purchased a walk in freezer, before assembling it we need to build a structure for it. I'm wiring rebar together before we pour a concrete slab.

Smoothing out the slab.

Mulching cabbage, its finally dry enough to work in the outside gardens.

We upgraded to faster internet service so now I can post movie clips. This film was taken a week or two ago after we moved our smallest pigs to pasture.

June 14-20th

The wheat is starting to head out.

I cultivated the field corn for the second time on Friday, rain and warm temperatures have make good corn growing weather.

Saturday was the third farmers market, sales were good for this early in the season.

We've gotten quite a bit of rain over the last week. Rainy days are good for getting caught up in the greenhouse.

The First Week of June

Saturday June 5th was the first farmers market of the season.

We sold quite a bit of pork.

Overall market sales were better than expected.

The oyster mushrooms are ready to be moved outside. It looks like the inoculation worked and we should get a good crop of mushrooms.

We're doing a little bit of logging, we need some lumber for buildings.

The green beans have germinated, rain and warm weather have really helped.
