Happy Memorial Day

Today it’s simple, thank you to all of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country, our freedom and all the things we take for granted on a daily basis.   Photo from Lens of a Farmgirl.

Those who serve our country do so unselfishly and honorably. So today and everyday, thank you! You are all heroes!

Since We Have 2 Combines…

Since we have 2 combines we decided we better ensure we can at least run a harvest crew in the future. Which is why this big one year boy…  Is soon to be a big brother!  

Welcome baby #2 December 16, 2015 (or somewhere around there!).

It’s Green Bean Time

We are making the final preparations to our soil today to get ready to plant green beans tomorrow! It’s no small task either. 

  
The soil has been worked down for a few weeks.  We have applied a preplant fertilizer and will work that into the soil today. Which will also bring up some fresh dirt with good moisture to make it ideal for planting seeds. 

 
  And as an added benefit working the ground one more time will knock down any small weeds that have grown the past few weeks. Saving us an application of herbicide as well!

  

We haven’t grown green beans for a few years but it has always been one of my favorite crops. Glad that we get to add it back into our mix of crops this year!  I’ll have updates as the plants grow through the spring, this field of dirt will look very different very soon!
