Farm Pictures!

Well I finally remembered to take my camera out to the field with me to get some pictures for this blog. It's always more interesting to see some pictures about what we are talking about. But my batteries died before I could get some taken of the sweet potato field and the winter squash field. Maybe next time...:)

Here are some pictures of our farm. This one above is some of our basil. We picked 50 bags off it to sell last week at market.

Here is our okra. It's not very big yet, but we've already had two small pickings off of it. The hoop house at the end is our new one we put up this winter. We have some early heirloom tomatoes in it.

Here are our outside tomatoes. We've been working on getting them all strung up. I have one more row to do and then it'll be time to start the second stringing! Ha! :)

Just another shot of the tomato field.

This is our potato field on down from the tomatoes. We got them in late this year so they are still growing, but they have started blooming. Hopefully they will make potatoes this year. We have around 10 or so different varieties with two different blue kinds!

This is our bed of candy onions on the far edge of our potatoes. We are excited about them this year as they are really looking good. We don't seem to be able to grow very big onions, but this year looks like we will do a lot better job than we have in the past. See picture below. It's amazing what composting and soil amendments can do!

This is our ginger and tumeric in one of our hoop houses. Last year was our first year doing ginger and it went over really well at market. So this year we ordered more to plant and they mistakenly sent us some tumeric also, so we are trying that this year as it is grown pretty much the same as ginger.

And last but not least here are a couple of pictures of the garlic we've been digging. We've only gotten one bed dug so far, have about four more to dig. We've got around 30 different varieties so hopefully there will be something for everyone's taste!
