A peak at last year's work

The spring was a lot of preparation work. Ten+ raised beds were dug, ready for planting once the frost date past. The plants themselves were started early in the spring, both indoors and in the greenhouse.We planted summer squash, a medley of herbs, heirloom tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, potatoes, beans, a mix of hot peppers, pumpkins, winter squash, gourds, eggplants, and lots of marigolds.

Our pumpkin patch in the summer months.
A bed of young mixed greens under row cover (to keep the rabbits off).We even attempted some late in the season greenhouse tomato plants.The first yield started with an early crop of sugar snap peas.In the spring, the orchard was planted. By mid-July, everything looked healthy.
Some of the apple trees...
And a little peach tree.
