The sun had finally broken through the clouds this week and spring is on everybody's mind. The raised beds we made last year h
ad to go into the ground sometime and this seemed like a good one. The ground was moist more than a foot down, which is where we had to dig the holes for the bottom anchoring posts on the beds, and made it very easy to get them in the ground. We just got the last two beds down today and my green thumb is itching. We've already ordered all the seeds we'll need t
o plant a huge garden since some will have to be started pretty soon. Growing in our garden this year will be peas, carrots, pumpkins, garlic, onions, leeks, squash, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, watermelon, cantaloupe, broccoli, cauliflower, strawberries and different kinds of lettuce. Since we already have 50 chickens supplying us with fresh eggs I only need my Jersey cow, goats, sheep and a donkey to complete our small farm! I would love to make more cheeses but just can't find the time (I don't know why ;). We'll be overflowing with vegetables when harvest comes around, but we plan on canning some things, pickling others and just letting anyone who wants the extras come and pick some yummy veggies.
