Spring..finally!



We haven't been on here much lately, because we have been busy, busy, busy. Here are a few pics of our hoop house with tomatoes, rainbows over the garden, and the flowering pears. Our hope is to get everything planted in the next 2 weeks, as long as the weather cooperates. With the cold Spring, our first delivery will likely be pushed back a week--to June 22nd for Butte folks.Next time we will post some pictures of how our plants are coming along.

A little help from our friends


A few weeks back our neighbor came over to help us spread 30 yards of compost and topsoil on the gardens. He said, "While your at it, go rent a rototiller for the bobcat." Thanks to Curt's help we were able to get everything spread and tilled in one (long) day! Something that would have taken at least 3-4 solid days to do. We are thankful...and Seth got a ride too! Now we are planting, planting, planting....

What a difference a few weeks of sun make!

The plants in the greenhouse are exploding and ready to sink their roots into some "real" dirt. We are busy picking rocks, spreading compost, and will be tilling this week.




In the mean time Seth has been enjoying the dirt mounds on the farm-I almost hate to put them on the fields.. Ben has been making (and finishing) chairs and we are enjoying the sun!
