Melons

Our melons are coming along nicely. Yesterday we found the Russian Banana potatoes that were taken over by weeds from the rain! We got maybe 1/4 of a bushel that we will use as seed stock hopefully!! Looking into other heirloom organic potatoes. Peas are thriving and tomatoes are limping! Happy farming!

We have had soooo much rain here in SC! Our garden is diluted . We can't put fish emulsion out to nourish our plants. Our tomatoes are bursting and only last a few days. It's not been seasonally hot here in the midlands. Okra is dragging along while weeds are as tall as us..... Lol. Tractor and vehicles continue to get stuck in the med. took 2 tractors to get the last one unstuck. We are proud to note that our animals are well despite the muck!! Thinking of letting goats graze in pig pasture today. I think they could clean it up a bit. Fruit trees have disease.....as do our tomato and squash plants. It's just too much of a good thing. Whoooo-d a thunk it???? We've been in a drought for a couple of years. We have been able to sell some stuff, but have lost more than we sold. Thankful for our dedicated egg customers!!!

Field update 4-16-13

We will be getting tomatoes, squash, melons, and a few other things in the field this week (can't remember them all) as soon as I can get the hiller back from the welding shop. Our sugar snap peas are coming along well and should be ready to harvest in the next week or two if I can get Sharon from eating them while we are in the field. Corn is starting to pop up in rows as well as the radish and spinach. If there is something that you would like to see grown please let us know. Almost forgot about the okra in the ground but has not awaken yet.

Brave New World

We are starting a trek into an unknown world of technology. We will attempt to get this thing up and running and provide a spot where you can find out what we are doing ( I still don't know), how we are doing it (by the grace of God), and where we will be selling our wonderful produce and eggs. If you stumble across us we hope that you will continue to check in from time to time as eventually we will get this site mastered. Thanks again, James and Sharon
