We managed to get a new lettuce patch in the ground today. Took a total of 3 hours start to finish (well.. the drip lines were already laid out). Not sure how many plants this will be, but there is a total of 8 rows of 120 yards each, so about 1000 yards of plants. We doubled planted these (twice as thick as recommended) since this is for animal feed.
Hopefully the weather will hold and we will get it all harvested before cold weather sets in. Usually lettuce is ok to plant late since it keeps growing with cooler weather as long as it doesnt freeze.
This leaves one more patch for planting in the summer spot... and then time to start on the winter garden (roots and hearty plant)
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.
