We managed to get most of the garden planted today. It seems late to be planting on memorial day, but the weather this year did not allow earlier planting.
We all worked together and got all of the definitely outdoor plants in the ground (the non-greenhouse friendly ones). So far we have :
Garlic (from last year)
Cucumbers and squash (started in the greenhouse)
Onions
Radishes
Carrots
Beets
Beans
Corn
Peas
Okra
Turnips
We are trying something new this year. Instead of staking the peas and beans, we planted corn in the same row. Hopefully the corn will provide natural poles for the vining plants to hold to. We also tried the same thing in the cucumber row, planting 3 corn plants around each cucumber plant.
It was great fun with the kids. They both love gardening and did an awesome job today!
Follow along our adventure as we make the transition from corporate city life to the world of natural farming. Each day brings a new experience and brings us to a deeper understanding about the life and spirit that made America great. At our farm we do our best to give the animals we raise a natural, free, happy, stressfree lifestyle. Our mission is to learn and share how to manage a farming operation that is both profitable and humane.
