Life is Hectic!

As I sit inside and watch the rain pound down outside, I find it hard not to reflect on how hectic life has been since I wrote last. We've finished all our corn planting, prepared fields for planting beans and planted about half of our bean acres. The garden has also seen many changes including planting more turnips and beets. Keeping up with weeding the onions has proven to be a chore. The Indian corn was planted last week and is already starting to sprout. I also finished planting the green beans, yellow beans, and purple beans last week. There was over three pounds of bean seed so hopefully that will be enough to keep up with demand this summer. Monday I transplanted the okra plants into the garden. Yesterday I finally finished planting the red potatoes and transplanted 175 pepper plants. Most of them were sweet peppers including Big Bertha, Giant Marconi, Lilac, Satsuma, Super Heavyweight, and Goliath. I also planted Volcano hot peppers and Serrano del Sol hot peppers. When the straightens out I hope to finish planting the hot peppers.
