We had quite the successful weekend with the help of parental hands. After a few days and MANY hours at work, the entire garden for the year is planted. This year's garden features two full bed for the pumpkins and gourds. We have quite the variety, including mini white casperita pumpkins and big moose pumpkins. Eric is hoping for a 150 pound giant!
The rest of the beds are filled with potatoes, zucchini, acorn and butternut squash, cabbage, beans, peas, lettuce, spinach, kale, beets, tomatoes, peppers, a small grouping of herbs (basil, cilantro and parsley), sunflowers, cucumbers, carrots, parsnips and strawberries.
The pine trees are continuing to do well. I think we only lost one, so at least we'll have 9 years worth of Christmas trees:) Some of the blueberry bushes have flowered, so we may even get to enjoy some fresh fruit this year from them.
Here's a cute video of our very active farm animals!
