Granny's gone and done it again

Gmorning Troyer. Hows your day going?

Pretty relaxed, it's charting to be a rather calm day. I'm planning on taking a two mile walk with Captain and Bowser this afternoon with part of the walk being through the marsh here. I probably should take some pictures and post them here.

It's dry enough here that the Maple trees are shedding some leaves, notice the green leaves partly dried out among the browns of last fall. There is a lot of that happening right now.

This is from mid last week. There is a pond on this property and they really enjoy it.

Im lucky to go 20 ft. A 2 mile is way out of my league. Yes on the pictures! How many acres do you have there? How big is your garden?

I agree

The farm is 320 acres with 220 acres tillable. There is a cash cropper renting the farm land. The rest of the 100 acres is a mix of hardwoods and marsh with a small creek running through the width of it.

How big is your garden?

Without actually measuring I'd say 75' x 75'. The garden is right beside the cash croppers corn field so when he irrigates his field our garden gets mostly irrigated as well. We consider it a plus to have our garden irrigated.

75x75 room = 5625 square feet
thats a lot of tomatoes!!! I bet you spend the whole summer canning too?

We have quite the variety out there.
The perrenials are asparagus, rhubarb, strawberries and walking onions.
Annuals are sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, lima and green beans, tomatoes, hot and sweet peppers, three varieties of lettuce, radishes, peas, eggplant, watermelons, cantalopes, sweet corn, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, red beets and carrots is what comes to mind.
We'll be busy, but we appreciate being able to eat fresh from the garden.
