Garden, Planting, and Planting....

Yesterday we planted carrots, cabbage, eggplant, tomatoes, zuchini, and squash....  WOW  it was fun and a lot of work, but the family was all working together and it was awesome! We use the biointesive method so our garden is a 4 ft bed 100 feet long and yesterday we planted 2 beds!  that's 800 sq ft of garden.  We plant in a hexagone method for maximum growth and weed control as the leaves touch and create a rainforrest type enviroment under the plants that help with water retension and weed control!

Today we are going to plant watermelon, canteloupe, cucumbers, and peppers.  Then we have seeds to put in the ground for other things!!  Wow things are growing around here, come out and check it out!  Feed the baby calfs while your here!

The green house is finally getting bare as things are moving out to the garden.  Although the fig clippings are doing very good.  So if you want a fig tree for your yard let me know!  Y'll have a great day and enjoy it!
