We had an awful carrot season this year. Carrots wouldn’t size up no matter where we seeded them this year. Three different beds. We had really bad rust fly where we had to toss lots of carrots as we were cleaning them. But for next year, we are prepared. We’ve already purchased row covers and… Continue reading Carrots and Tomatoes

We also removed all of the garlic scapes. It won’t be long now, less than 30 days and we will have garlic. We… Continue reading Clean up Day
Bed Preparation

Anyone want any… Continue reading Green bean seeds anyone?
The Frost Has Hit
We definitely got a frost last night. Let’s hope the sea of row covers did their jobs
Ready for the Frost
We are ready for the frost. This is what we got covered before we left for the market and we just finished covering the rest with tractor lights on.
