A rain day: great time to upload some more pictures

Hello Every one

Currently I have been picking lots of tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, and tons of potatoes. I have harvested so many potatoes that I had to get 21 more bins like you see on the wagon hopefully that will be enough but I have a feeling that I will need to get more so that I have something to put my storage carrots, cabbage, beet, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and winter squash. Wow lots of busy days ahead as things come to there final maturity. I am really looking forward to having more tasty produce to market through this winter. Last Friday I also purchased a used Clark fork lift that will make moving thing around in my potato storage shed much easier and safer more pictures to come as the fall harvest progresses.

what I have been up to latly

hello every one things have been extremely busy at my farm. it has bee filled with harvesting tomatoes, potatoes and my fall cole crops. My new packing shed has come along ways. I now have a nice pad of cement to work on and a roof over my head. I finally got moved into my trailer the end of July it has been nice to be able to get up in the morning and go out and start working on my farm. Potato harvest has been coming along nicely so far with the help of some volunteers over the past 3 Sundays combined we have dug approximately 20,000 pounds of various varieties of potatoes. I hope to do a better job of keeping this up dated this fall. hopefully. I also just got my van back last week thank for the great job Bill. SO keep your eyes open for the G It's fresh Van

never a dull moment

rain or shine there is always something to do on a vegetable farm, or I guess any farm for that matter. this past week has been filled with more weed pulling, planting winter squash, planting water melon more lettuce, summer squash and cucumbers.  we also harvested lots of greens and Kohlrabi about 60 pounds this week.  Friday evening I cultivated my Field corn 2nd pass. every thing is looking excellent hopefully I will be able to harvest some Broccoli  and some shell peas next week I also plan to start harvesting some potatoes for farmers market :)  

Whole Lota weeds

this week has been filled with lots of weed pulling and some lettuce harvesting.  it has been raining a lot this week so planting has come to a stand still for the moment. hopefully next week I will be able to get back on track.  when I am able to get back in the Field with the tractor I will be planting my fall storage crops: carrots, beets and some winter squash.  I will also be doing a bunch of cultivating and hopefully rotary hoe my soybeans.
