So, we moved.

Across the state.

I'm sorry that it has been so long since I've posted here! Pictured above is our new garden, on our new one-acre lot. We have already planted carrots, lettuce, spinach, chard, peas, beets, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and onions.

Last week I watered on account of the lack of rain and I also applied some liquid kelp to ...

He did haul a hose over and water as much as he could. We keep hearing of rain storms both north and south of ...

Yesterday Jessi and I weeded around the tomatoes. The ground is quite dry and compacted. We added some compost on all the tomatoes and brassicas, but I am not too optimistic.
