8-30-14 Farm Update

End of the month update.  We just did a big rhubarb harvest.  Starting to get a little colder at night and looks like our season is rapidly approaching

 The raspberries have been productive again this year and the new canes look really healthy. Should mean another great year next year.

 Even with the late start the taters are looking good.

 We've had a great supply of lettuce all summer and the beats are almost ready.

 Even with only one pea fence we've gotten a great crop and the carrot tops are the largest I've ever seen in the garden.

 This yellow wax chili pepper plant has done alright in the green house and the scotch bonnet is also doing pretty good.

 Really sunny the morning I took these but the green beans have been producing like mad.  I've probably put away over 5 pounds in the freezer and we are still regularly eating them with dinner.

 Our three cherry tomatoes are doing good to and those tiny little tomatoes are oh so sweet.

 We're also finally getting a nice crop of cucumbers.  The variety this year is the Boston Pickling Cuchs and are very tasty, just not very big.  Should have enough to make a few batches of pickles.

 The yellow and green zuchs are also doing well as is some of our front yard cabbage

 A couple nice yellow Zuchs

And a few nice green ones.

Well that's it for now.

August 12th Farm Update

Been awhile since I had a good post of the farm. So lets take a walk around.

Looking in the greenhouse it's become quite a jungle.

Green beans are going really well. I've already packed away a few pounds and had many, many with dinners.

 The tomatoes have once again topped out in the green house.  We have lots of flowers and tons of small tomatoes, but we'll have to see if any ripen.

 The cucumbers have taken over their corner as well and we've been pretty diligent on pollinating.  We finally have a couple that have set.

 Got a couple pepper plants starts from a friend, I'm not sure what kind they are only I was told they are hot.  And we've already got a couple.

 Out in the beds everything is growing good.  The lettuce continues to be harvested, the beats are coming along nicely and this is our 3rd or 4th round of radishes.

 You can also congratulate Jon here. He was recently promoted to General.  General shithead and has taken that corner of the box as his own.

 The peas and carrots are both doing great.

 The peas have already topped their fence once again and even with only one pea fence this year I think we'll have plenty.

 Taters are blooming which is always a good sign.

 The bramble has really bushed up.  We've taken a couple gallons off of it already and there are tons and tons more to come.

 All the zucchini and squash plants are doing well and producing lots of fruit.

 We even had a few cabbage take and survive out front.

 There's a nice zuch there.  We've taken a lot of the smaller fruit that didn't set and have been eating them pretty constantly. Should be another good year all around for these guys.
