An Update!

Well it seems that we haven't done a post in awhile so I am here for an update. Since Kath got back we have been enjoying the nice weather by being outside preparing the fields. We have chosen a main location that we would like to farm, but we are listening to the advice of our network of experienced farmers and we aren't putting all our eggs in one basket and trying some mini-gardens on some other chunks of land.

For now are removing all the sod, from last years hay crop, on the main field. We are attempting to do as much of the work as we can by hand, but after doing a fair amount of sod removing we have decided to take some more advice and get a sod cutter. So we have rented it for next weekend and it will be a sod cutting party.

These past few days have been mostly planning stages, we are making sure we have a game plan for everything we do and there is lots on the go.

As for things that are actually growing we have a fair amount of onions, brasicas, and a wee bit of celery growing in soil blocks. There is also a few containers growing some tomatoes, some flowers and some rose bush clippings.

I think that is pretty much it as it goes for farms stuff. Bailey is doing well, always wanting the ball thrown while we are working in the fields. Pretty soon things will get very busy very fast and we are excited!
