Working Hard on the Farm!

We have been working hard on the Farm and amazing things are happening!  Let me tell you what is going on.

First we have built a raised bed for items that stay all year long.  This will cut down on tilling and weeding for the farm, YEA!  Also we planted the whole thing in a day.  It is 4 feet wide, 28 feet long, and 2 feet deep!  So needless to say that is a LOT of wheel barrels full of dirt to haul!  But we completely filled it up, so I guess I need to get busy on building the second one!  Thought it might take me awhile to fill it up, but no such luck!  Got too excited and I hope everyone like onions!  We actually planted onions, garlic, asparagus, shallots, thyme, basil, cilantro, and other spices!  So if you need spice you now know where to go!  If you have a favorite spice contact me and I'll add it in.

Second we got 6 rows fertilized and tilled and ready for planting!  Bye-Bye Winter garden, Hello spring Garden!  We are so excited.  We have approx. 26 flats planted and waiting to go in.  Lettuce, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, carrots, tomatoes, radishes, beets, and more!  So keep tuned in to find out what is available and when!

Last but not least, Meat Chickens!  We have construction underway to update the buck pen, into the chicken coop for the meat birds!  We are about to place our first order of meat birds and need to know who wants us to raise meat chickens for them and how many do you need?  Call or e-mail me so we can make arrangements and you can get the details!

Well, I guess I am going to sign off for now, but stay tuned to find out what else is happening at the Cox Family Farm!
