Gardening update May 2010

This is our future garden some day right now its where we put our seasonal turkeys and sheep. Its right near the garden so all we have to do is take down the fence when we R ready to add more to R garden.



This is a side view of our garden. You can see a bit of where the sheep R grazing. Right now they R putting a lot of much needed manure down.

These R my berries they R about ready to eat, I have three more but this the biggest. I know, I know I have to weed out the grass around them.

My tomatos R doing really good. I have Picked and ate some cherry ones already yummy. My onions R growing right between them R doing really good too. Chickens snuck in and ate my lettuce seeds so I have to start all over again.

The start of our garden this year has gotten started late becuz of the rains. Its all ready to be planted now. This one up top is our newest addition to the garden this year. This picture above is a new section we planted this year.

Another view of the garden ready to be planted. We worked really hard to finish it up this Saturday. Suppose to get some rain this weekend so not sure if we should plant or not waiting on the weather to tell us

Garden ready 2010

Tom and Miranda taking down the garden tent to get ready to plow the field this coming month. Its too wet and muddy right now so we have to wait. The sheep are coming in the background to finish up whats left of the grasses.

We have a pile of beautiful Compost near the barn that needs to be taken to our garden too. I am so looking forward to spring.

Garden update for June 2009

My tomatoes I have been picking at least 2-5 a day

Everything is starting to pop up, lime a beans, lettuce, green beans, squashes etc.. This is our nifty water system too it works great its made with pvc pipes

Green beans and lettuce are doing good. The green beans are climbing fast and are already shading the lettuce

My tomatoes are doing great!

Ok so I think I have caught up on my picture taking of my garden for now.

Another Garden Update

This is my son above being creative on holding down the bags so we could put mulch on it I thought it was funny. This is another raised bed we are doing we use used feed bags.

Lettuce from last year that started to grow, not bad at all.

My tomatoes are starting to grow by the time we get back from Disney World we should have a few.

This has taken me a while to post this sorry so the dates on it are not that accurate for the days posted. This is the start of our new garden this year. We got an attachment to our tractor so it was easy to pull and move the dirt.

This is mixed up with compost from our sheep plus three years of turkey manure from our Pasture Poultry mobile.

My tomatoes are growing I am surprised its so early yet. These Better Bush Tomatoes grow pretty fast and well and they are soooo sweet to taste.

I have 6 growing right now and plan to get more soon. We spent the weekend mucking out the sheep barn and got it all into our field where we are planting a larger garden. My husband then took our tractor with his new toy (PTO driven rotor tiller) attachment and mixed it into now tilled soil. It looks great.

Now if we can keep the dogs out of the garden we will do very well.

We also bought some banana plants from the craigs listing and they are growing really well. I put some organic plant food in them today also in my fruit trees and all my growing tomatoes. Hopefully this will work and help them grow.
