Still Growing

First thing this morning...torrential downpour.  John and I tied and pruned the tomato plants in the hoop house until the rain let up a little.  They grow so fast that it is becoming very difficult to keep up with them.  You can see how badly it needed to be done. 

Before

After

Once the rain let up a little bit, Lissa and I did some planting.  We planted a couple types of cabbage that will be made into sauerkraut at the end of the season.  We replanted some sunflowers in the big garden and of course did a little bit of weeding. In the hoop house we planted some more broccoli, more kale, and some more pak choi.  We will be pulling the first crop of peas out very soon and will have a lot more room in the first hoop house. I also spent some time looking at all the things going on around the farm.  I thought you blog readers might appreciate some of these pictures

The carrots are really growing...baby carrots for the CSA soon.
