Our First Farm!

Our field and the pasture next to it during a winter freeze.

 
   We will soon be breaking ground on our two acres of planned vegetable and fruit.  We have allowed the field to fallow the past year, letting the soil rest from the previous work it has done as grazing land.  The first thing we will do is to get the land plowed up and then disced so that the soil is as weed free and ready as possible when we lay down our first transplants and seeds.  We are in the midst of ordering our varieties for the coming season.  We are planning on 15 different tomato types, 3 cucumber types, several beans, peas, garlic, potatoes, herbs, lettuces, strawberries, raspberries, eggplant, and many others.  It is an exciting time, the buildup to spring has begun and soon it will feel like there is never enough time in the day to get everything done!
