Surveying the lower 40 before harvesting begins.......July 25


Hanson and I did a walk through the evening of the 25th to confirm that harvesting can begin.  The garden looks lush and ready for early picking.  The dear rabbits, also God's creatures we must remember, have eaten the corn and the beans, and the squirrels carefully bit off some of the sunflowers and carefully moved them to one area and stacked them up! 


 Hanson did a quick check on the potatoes - they aren't anywhere near ready.


Same with the beets - they look ready but once pulled up the actual beet is pretty small.





Some of the okra is ready to go.



Hanson is very happy with the green peppers - we have several different kinds and all sizes and shapes and they are ready to be picked!





The tomatoes and eggplant are also right on the cusp! 

So we are good to go with our first harvesters tomorrow - Jane and David Massant!
