GETTING THE GARDEN IN

A VERY PRODUCTIVE AFTERNOON

Farm apprentice! Emily ( www.emilymirandastudio.com ) and Falza came up for a few days and helped get the garden in.

Sather and I get a chance to work for a few hours together in the field.

We bring home our first load of our new (used) greenhouse.

Sadie on the lookout for Hiro. Sather made a beautiful sunburst filography on the cube for the beans to grow up.

The kids "dragon" garden is all ready for planting.

Kes has a quiet moment with Hiro as he has his dinner.

Kes finds a giant toad.

PLANNING AND PLANTING UPPER FIELD

80º

All the pigs have been moved out of my garden and Sather has decided to rototill for me. Unfortunately it is 80º out.

Sather marks and prepares our first row.

First row of Brassicas are in. It's great to finally get something in the garden.

The greenhouse is filling up.

Full house.
