A lot has been happening over here. Today I finally got around to taking some pictures:
The hoophouse is up! This was quite the project, luckily we had help from my dad and several other folks.
It's 24 feet wide and 72 feet long.
Its constructed out of metal pipes, two-by-fours and a whole lotta plastic. Its sorta like a giant hot dish pan covered in cellophane.
We planted a whole pile of tomatoes in there. Last year's members probably remember our tomato crop failure. Hoop houses protect plants from all sorts of fungi and diseases. Take that tomato blight!! HA!
The garlic is doing well. I planted it last fall instead of in the spring (which is what I did last year). Fall planted garlic is the way to go.
Kale is something I've never planted before. Several members from last year requested it. I'm surprised by how fast it grows.
Tommatillos, also known as Mexican tomatoes are just starting to bloom.
The chickens found the garden and did some damage to the broccoli patch. As a result, they are on lock down.
Meet Larry, our new billy goat. He's seen here with Shirley one of our young lady goats.
