Things are getting pretty downright serious on the farm. James & I are working from 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. most days. We are thinking we might need to hire somebody or have some friends and family out for a bit. It's just a crazy time of year-we have to get almost all our summer stuff (peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, corn, beans, etc.) planted within a few weeks. Just to give you an idea-we are planting over 1,700 tomato plants and 2,000 pepper plants. Oh...and planting is just the beginning of all the work! The life of a farmer...you might have to be a little insane to be one (and I am counting myself in that category) We are still loving it, but just feel like there just isn't enough time in the day to do regular things-like cooking, laundry, cleaning, enjoying a book, friends, etc.
Anyway, enough Debbie Downer for the day. I will be posting some pictures real soon. Our first lettuce planting will be ready to harvest for this weekend's upcoming farmers markets..and our perennial herb bed is coming together. Our first tomatoes and squash are in the field. And our irrigation should be done soon?! (That's a whole different post!)
Sending love from our fields to your home..love and miss you all. G'night :)
