Let the good times roll!

The Half Acre Farm has really been going to town over the past week and a half! All seeds are in the garden, all tomato and pepper plants from the green house are healthy and could be planted in the garden any day, the blackberry raspberry and strawberry plants all look good, and the chickens are pretty much back on track of laying 1 egg per day! Life is good on the farm! Last Thursday (April 23rd) I planted all the seeds in the garden, I planted radish's, carrots, spinach, egg plant, and okra. Pretty much all of our peas have sprouted and look really good, we have a couple cucumbers that have sprouted, and our beans are starting to sprout as well. Also last Thursday (April 23rd) I put another row of 2x4's on my potato box and another layer of cotton bur.

The berry patch is coming right along as well. The blackberry and raspberry plants have a lot of leaves on them and even are starting to get a few buds on them too! The strawberries are starting to come up more and more it seems every day and we have our first straw berry bloom! The blueberries are doing good...well the one that has made it is doing good, we're still not sure what happened to the other blue berry plant. We walked out side one day and it was gone, there was no sign of anything digging it up or it a stump where it had broke. The funny thing is, the one that is alive and well, is the plant that Duke dug up! The not so funny thing we are having a hard time finding another blueberry plant like the one we planted.

The Green house plants are really doing well and we have started setting them outside for a couple hours per day to start hardening them up for the big transplant in the garden!
