The Greenhouse and other things happening around the Farm

The Squash have really been producing, since we moved them outside. They were too close together where we had then in the greenhouse. They have done well in the pots outside, and the squash are delicious.

Mother's Roma tomatoes are hanging full of green tomatoes. She is waiting patiently for them to get ripe.

Here is what the world looked like from atop the new mare that Josh bought. She is a real joy to ride even though she is only a 2 year old. She rides like a top. Josh wants to call her "Fannie" but I like "Ms. Fandango" better. That is what her papers say. She was well worth the few dollars that Josh paid for her. I think I will claim her for mine.

We crossed another milestone as Ms. Chelsea Robinson graduated from Mt. Nebo Christian Academy School in Robbinsville. Here she is with Justin! Chase was acting silly. We hope she stays forever in our family. ♥

Here is our first crop out of the greenhouse. They sure were tasty. Nothing like fresh squash and cucumbers.

Our strawberries have been producing some fruit along. There is more to these than we ever imagined. Alot to learn about them and what makes them happy, but we are learning as we go. They have produced lots of runners that we have rooted so that we will have new plants to go into the hydroponics in the winter months.

The cucumbers have really done well in the pots in the greenhouse, so that means that we will have cucumbers all the time. Yum Yum!!!!

Here is our broccoli, cauliflower and brussel sprouts in the field. We will get the weeds out of them in a few days and lay the fertilize to them so they will be happy.

Here is part of our cabbage patch, we only have 5500 plants set out. I keep telling Josh & J that by the time we get the last row hoed, the first one will need it again.

This is what it is all about. Landon is thinking what his next move should be.
We are hoping that Landon will follow in Josh's footsteps and have a love of the land like we do.
Here is the start of our orchard that we plan to start up in the field.

That's all for now. Everyone remember June 7th is our Farm Tour and then you can see for yourself what all is really happening on the farm and in the Greenhouse. It all starts at 10 am and will last till the last one leaves. Lunch will be served.

It all looks so good! I'm jealous of the squash and cukes-I don't have any yet. And I'm sad I'll be out of town on the day of the tour : ( But I hope it goes good!!!
