More Farm and Market Pictures

I got new batteries for my camera and remembered to take it back out to the field to get some more pictures! The two pictures below are of one of our sweet potato fields. The second one shows our zucchini planted along the left side with our field of dried beans on the left of them. The beans came up very spotty as it was old seed. We have been trying to get them planted for the last two years, but weather has not cooperated with us. We may end up picking them as green beans.

 The picture below is another one of our sweet potato fields. As you can see we also grow weeds really well! Greg has since taken care of them! I think I counted we have around 32 different varieties of sweet potatoes.
 Our weekly trip to the horse barn to get loads of manure for our compost pile. You can see the steam rising from the pile on the truck! We make a trip once a week. We have two nice compost piles going. We are getting tired of scooping them off however, so we are in the process of purchasing a dump trailer to make that job quicker and easier. Should have it sometime the first of August. Can't wait!
 This was our stand at market this morning.
 We took some of our garlic that we got dug last week. It seemed to go over very well, so we are excited about that. We only took about 15 different varieties and sold out of 3 that we took. We only took one bunch of each so next week we will add some more varieties in our offering as they get dried.
 These are some of our candy onions. We just started pulling them.They look the best we've ever had them! That's some basil behind them.
 This is some of my baked goods and dried goods hanging up behind. I bake sweet breads using our produce in all of them except the banana bread, but I use our eggs in those! I bake applesauce bread, banana, banana coconut, strawberry, green tomato, persimmon, persimmon pudding, chocolate zucchini and plain zucchini. Dried goods range from apple slices, strawberries, tomatoes, tomato powder, peppers, okra and soup mixes.
 These are some of our peppers that we had today! They are just starting, this was our first real picking and we sold all out of them!
