Farmer Ed

Planting potato, onion, turnip, beet, mustard, and lettuce so far

As you can see... a lot of holes to cut and carefully plant a few seeds in each hole.  The planting density has to be high to pay for the plastic and effort involved.

We must find a planter next year that both makes the hole in the plastic and inserts the seed in the ground... 

Looks a little bit like Iowa doesn't it!  We put down white plastic to start our later crops...  it keeps the ground cooler by reflecting the heat.  Keeping the plants cooler is a big deal this year because we have had days of 106 heat and above.

Planted pumpkins in with the corn and they have vined out in a big way

Here is another garden that was planted 2 weeks ago

All the ears that are too small for market, we pick for our own use...  Hitched up the horse this morning for a trip to the field.

Many hands make short work of it
