This week has been extreamly busy and productive. last saturday afternoon I rotory hoed my corn. On monday I went to get a tractor and transplanter from windridge while Matt Havel roto tilled where we where going to be planting tomatos that afternoon. In the afternoon we planted the last of my tomatoes, about 1000 while steven was working up the some ground to plant my soybeans. in the evening I went to a GROWN Locally meeting. My father started planting my soybeans at about 8 that evening and when I got back from my meeting at 10 I went and got some more soybean seed.  Istarted planting at about 11 and finished around 2 that morning, we where concerned that it was going to rain that is why we pushed so hard to get it planted.  The next day it was still dry so Matt and his brother Michal helpled me plant about 2100 pepper plants a bunch of eggplant and some celery.  after we finished planting I did some cultivating in some of my cole crop transplantings while they started hand hoeing. then I roto tilled betweent the rows of my first planting of tomatos. on wensday the Havel brothers and I hand hoed in the feild where I had culivated tuesday. thursday Mike hand hoed between the tomatoes where I had roto tilled while Matt roto tilled where we where going to be planting sweet potatos that afternoon and I planted my weekly salad planting.  at two in the afternoon we started planting my acre of sweet potatos with the transplanter I had rented from widridge imp.  we finished about six hours later.  friday the havel's finsihed checking to make sure all the sweet potatos made it in the ground.  then they fished hoeing the feild that we had started on earlier in the week.  then they harvested some radishes for me to take to market.  Well done Matt and Mike!!!  now we will  doing lots of weeding starting to stake the tomatos possibly start harvesting lettuce  and construction on my packing shed is slated to begin this week.  O  and the things we planted in the green hous about a week ago are up and looking good!

This week has been very busy since it has dried out enough to do some Field work.  Monday my mom me and Matt Havel transplanted a bunch of cole crop transplants, and I direct seeded my weekly lettuce planting, spinach, head lettuce, and radishes.  Tuesday Matt and I transplanted some squash and cucumber plants that I started the end of march. Wednesday Matt Cultivated potatoes and I rotovated/tilled under some cover crop in the evening my dad helped me plant my corn. to day Thursday hopefully it isn't so windy that way we can finish transplanting the cole crops and start looking at the tomatoes. other wise lots of hoeing to be done! I have some other cool pictures that I will put up when I bring my camera back inside.

 

still moving along in the wet weather

This week seems to be following that has been happening the past few weeks dry for the first few days of the week and wet the rest. granted the moisture is welcomed but it would be nice to have a week of dry weather so I can do a bunch of planting on a brighter note I was able to plant some green beans, peas and transplant some broccoli cabbage and Brussels sprouts.  I also had some carrots beets parsnips and chard that have emerged from the ground.   my first salad planing are becoming more noticeable in the Field as they grow hopefully in 2 or 3 weeks I will be able to begin harvesting salad and radishes.  When we get our drier period next week lots of cultivating to accomplish! "excellently exciting for sure"
