This past week we have experienced beautiful weather. It really helped with planting the garden and doing field work. We mounted the duals on the tractor Thursday and started discing cornstalks that will be planted into soybeans this year. On high note I finished planting the onions and leeks on Thursday. This picture shows what over 3000 newly planted onion plants looks like. Friday we hooked onto the cultimulcher and used it on the big garden at the other farm and it suprisingly worked up the ground almost as good as the garden tiller. After that I planted four rows of Early Scarlet Globe Radishes, four rows of Early Wonder Beets, eighteen rows of peas, and six rows of Early Contender Green Beans. Today was cut short by rain but I was able to plant my second planting of green onions, two rows of Purple Top White Globe Turnips, and some Swiss Chard. With rain in the forcast tonight it is doubtful we will be getting into the gardens or fields until sometime next week. It's okay though because things have really dried up and the rain (in moderation) is much needed.
