Squishy week on the farm

It has rained and rained and rained here this month.  I thought April was the shower month!?! 

I got part of the garden planted.  The early garden is in.  The middle garden should be going in now through the end of the month.  About the time the ground gets just dry enough to run the tiller the rain starts again.  I WILL GET THIS MIDDLE GARDEN IN, no matter what.

The greenhouse green beans have baby beans on them.  They are so cute.  I should have some available for the mid part of June at the Farmers Market.  Tomatoes have beautiful blooms for the past week or so but so far no tomatoes have formed.  I have seen the bees so I know they have been polinated.  The zucchini and eggplant are doing great as well.  I think the rabbits have found one of the raised beds, the black beauty eggplant and some of the green peppers look a little (a lot) nibbled on. 

We just got another order from Whole Foods for PourAPie.  We are excited to say the least.  I sent a confirmation invoice yesterday.  If all is accepted, we will begin the production of that order this week.  Maybe rain is a good thing.  Don't know what I would do if I could be in the garden but needed to be in the kitchen at the same time.  Probably garden during the day and process orders at night.  Who needs sleep anyway?

My son, Steve just bought a tractor.  He is the most city boy you have ever seen.  If fact, his wife Erin calls him Clark Griswald after Chevy Chase is the vacation movies.  He will be the farmer who shows up at the farm in his camaro with his designer boots on.  Farmer Casanova is he.  They just purchased 11 acres on which to build a house and start a small farmette.  They don't want to farm as a job but as a hobby.  I think their oldest, Tucker (almost 4) will be the farmer.  He is always wanting to ride on the tractor at Nana's.  Lauren (almost 3) is another story, she will be the city girl.  She is definitely our diva.

As I have found my camera.  It was in my coat pocket from Thanksgiving.  I will be able to give you visual updates on the farm.  Until then, don't worry about the dirt under your nails.  It'll come out by November!

See ya on the farm
