2007
We Now have tomatoes! Okra if ordered before you get here! Woodland & 103rd terrace follow the sign!
Today is Tuesday May 22 2007. I have been planting tomatoes and peppers today. Corn , green beans, Okra, Sunflowers and cannas. I have some tomatoes that are blooming and some blackberries that are blooming too. We had a bad freeze late this year and will not have any cherries or apples. It will slow the blackberries down but we will have some.
2006
Well 2006 was not our best year. We were attacked by the blister beetles and the tomatoes never got a chance. This next year we will have to spray an organic spray to kill them.
We Have been working at a fever pace to get tomatoes in the ground. We are doing some trail beds this year. We are trying Goliath, Springfield, Super Stake, Hillbilly and several others. Peppers are in the ground and so are the corn beans and cucumbers.
I will try to get some pictures up over the next week or so!
