Pics from the Farm

The onion rows begin from camera and extend to the tree line in the back. There are 5 rows. We are soooo very greatful to all who came out and helped make this a pleasant, quick weeding task. Dutch white clover was seeded the night the weeding was finished, so a low growing living mulch will fill the spaces between the onions.

 One of our work shares brings their 9 year old with them every week. Last week, Jacob assigned him the task of walking around the farm and taking photos.  Beautiful pictures, Luke!  Above is a patch of broccoli and the teepee that Jacob and Forrest built. Pole beans are planted at the base. They will vine up and create a shady, beany get-a-way.

Below is an up-close of the broccoli patch above. We planted close together to minimize weed growth and to retain as much moisture as possible from the broccoli leaves shading the soil.

Tomatoes in the high-tunnel. Sungold tomoatoes have been ripening for the past week, but the hardest creature to control, our 3 year old, keeps sneaking into the high-tunnels and picking anything with the slightest tinge of ripeness.

Tomato plants in the field... lots of them!

More of Luke's artsy photography. Tomatillos..yum...

Yet to be weeded onions in the front, collards behind, swiss chard behind, salad mix and kale in the background. It's growing...
