BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!!!!!!!!

Thursday I got 40 1/2 pints of peach jam made, so am slowly making a dent in my freezer! Friday we got 2 more loads of horse manure from William Woods College and unloaded. Then we got one of the hoop houses direct seeded with cherry belle, helios, purple plum, french breakfast and white globe radishes, several lettuces, totsoi, mizuna, arugula, rainbow swiss chard and kale. Then we started on the crate of candy onions! A crate was supposed to have 40 bundles of 60 plants, but we counted at least 80 bundles and they have more like 75-80 plants!!!!!!! So we didn't get those even 1/2 done, and we were hoping to get them all done, and in one bed! I told Greg that just because we had them all didn't mean we had to plant them all, but that was met with pure astonishment! There is no way you can let anything go to waste, so you all may be having to eat a lot of onions!!! I will say this if you like vidalia onions you will like these, as they are a sweet onion! But time will tell, mother nature has a way of evening out things sometimes! Today we are taking a bit of a break. Greg is going to an auction looking for a manure spreader this morning, and then going over to Columbia to watch the High School Basketball State playoffs, this is a tradition with his brother. Our son Lucas came home from school to go, too. I am going to an auction here in town. Then tomorrow it will be back to all those onions, we still have over half to go, and we haven't got all the onion sets from the other day planted yet. Plus last night UPS delivered our crate of leeks!!!!!!!!
