Ol' Farmer Day





Here's our latest project: Jeff's garden: 30'x30', already deemed 'too small'. He's planning to till up another 4' on the driveway side and 2' on each short end. If all grows, we'll lave beans pole & bush, carrots, beets, corn, zucchini, eggplant, wintersquash, cucumbers, onions, garlic, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, red, yellow, orange, green and purple bell peppers, 2 or 3 types of hot peppers, ground cherries (I don't know what they are either). stivia (sugar substitute), head lettuce, endives, spinach and 3 or 4 types of tomatoes including that cute patio tomato in the pot. My herb garedn (parsley, basil, oregano, chives and dill) will be in the old dog's wading pool (one way to get rid of all the rocks that have been tilled up). Jeff's planning next year's garden already! So far, if the crop of rocks and mosquitoes are any indication, we'll have a good year! And there's Dawg...previously known as Lady...watching the garden grow and Jeff work.
(He renamed her last summer. Said he wasn't going to take her out at camp and have to call out "Lady, where are you? Are you done peeing?" :)
