Week Four

Finally seems like we are done with the few pressing all time consuming projects. This week has thankfully been a bit of a breather! 

The final potato details:

52 rows

24 varieties 

Roughly 2,200 pounds

18 pits- these will yield seed potatoes for the next season- to be harvested this fall and kept in the root cellar until next spring. The picture below on the left is all the extra 50 pound potato bags!

Chase got to dig the pits with a mini excavator so the boys had their own private digger show and it was a memory for all! 

There are two asparagus fields. One mature one that we are harvesting now that we got water lines put down and one that we have done a ton of work with but they just get to rest, grow and mature this year. We cut the asparagus every other morning and take it to the restaurant for them to use!

In the green house: 

  • I planted another 100 seeds of 4 different types of tomatoes
  • Almost everything that has been planted has sprouted 🌱
  • Mac has taken to seed planting! He has planted 16 cucumber plants for the bunnies. He is also recovering spilled sunflower seeds that have sprouted and he is putting them in pots and they are now in the “Schneider science experiment garden” aka their own bed in the green house. 

Mer man turned THREE!!!! He choose all the things for the day and that’s what we did!! Pancakes 🥞 cupcakes 🧁 spaghetti 🍝 hiking 🥾 presents🎁 his first ice cream cone 🍦 He wanted nothing more than to make his own green birthday cupcakes with green frosting and sprinkles…..so of course he got to!!!
