PEANUT PULLING...AND MORE!!!

Had a GREAT turnout for a "last minute" work party!!  Due to rain on Monday night, we postponed, and then got to work on Tuesday night.  We started at 6:00 p.m. and ended at 7:15...in that short time we pulled and loaded into the horse trailer six beds of cornstalks, we picked and pulled two beds worth of green beans, and we dug up the LARGE bed of peanuts...all of the  50 feet long and 10 feet wide peanut bed.  Everyone pitched in where they could and made short work of everything.  At the end we had a "biggest peanut" contest...it sure was close, but the youngest Purirri girl won, beating out her brother by a mere peanut breath!!  Fun for everyone!!!  THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!!

CORN PLANTING and MORE!!!

What a great turnout we had tonight!!!  Thanks to everyone's help we got SIX beds of corn planted, two beds of onions weeded, lots MORE weeding, and lots of zucchini and squash picked.  The "cucumber hunters" did an amazing job hunting out all the cucumbers that were hiding under the plants...some were huge!!!  Watch the garden closely and by the end of the week I'll bet we see lots of green shoots poking out of the earth.  It really is MIRACLE CORN!!!

 

 

 

Garden Recap...

I've had way too much going on in my life in the past 6 months...and the garden blog has taken the hit.  Sorry!  I'll try to catch up on pictures and updates.

Kari Gali and her scouts planted out peanuts this year and they did a GREAT job.  The peanuts came up really well and are now looking BEAUTIFUL

  These were our first Amenian cucumbers of the season!

 The valves donated by Ace Hardware (aka Ben Franklins!) have made a HUGE improvement in the garden.  Each bed is now on it's own timer and everything waters SO much better!  Thank you, Ace Hardware!
