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.

Gearing up for Spring

Gearing up for spring we had to take out all the old plants still there the only thing I left was some curled parsley, love it plan to put in a lot more! Grass is overun in some parts hubby wants to burn it but he better watch my parsley

I plan to put one more of these plots in when ever hubby gets a chance. I also messed with my compost today, I really need some manure for it I have a bit in the rabbit cage but it needs to be mixed so I put some chicks in there to do the job.

I really need to get some sheep manure but I would have to get the tractor in there and they are all having babys in the barn right now so will have to wait.
