Life on the farm is busy. Here’s a snippet of what is going on…

The concrete beds have been a hit.

We have had a bumper crop of lettuce, this is one of 6 beds.

The broccoli and cauliflower are coming along slowly

The peas have loved the cool weather and are coming on strong.

The walking onions are walking,

and the chives are blooming.

The potato patch is doing well

and so are the tomatoes in the greenhouse,

…although we have had a group of pests show up (look close in the bottom right)

…which have quickly become dinner for these troops.

Raise your hand if you know what these guys are and what their favorite snack  is.

This garden hasn’t ever been treated with any commercial spray, organic or otherwise, and this year I have really noticed an increase in beneficial bugs.  It’s a testament to good compost and healthy soil.

Moving on we have green beans sprouted,

…and summer squash coming along.

And last but not least, I do believe the honey bees have decided that they like their new home and are planning to stay.

Thank you bees, I am super happy that you’ve joined our farm!

So there’s a tour of part of what we are growing right now, I’ll try to get pictures of the rest later.
