Week in Review

The past week has been a menagerie of activity.  We finished seeding, Alicia and I started mowing straw, I made salsa with produce from our garden, I got to spend some time in the yard/garden, and we took some time checking fields to see if and how the wheat is coming up.

The first seeded fields are coming along nicely, even though we had some rain on them, which can cause the soil to crust and prevent the little seedlings from emerging.  There is some sign of "curling" but for the most part, plants are popping through.

The coming week shows more rain forecast and cooler temperatures.  Fall has definitely arrived.

Filling the last load of fertilizer in to the air cart.

Just seeded ground.  

Reynald in the distance, making the last few passes on the field.

New plants.  Grow baby grow!!

Sweet peppers for salsa.  Hot peppers in the back ground, not yet picked.

I love pumpkins!

And zinnias and pumpkins!

Zinnias, larkspur and Mayor Pete watching over the garden.

Some of the ears of ornamental corn that I harvested this week.

This day the sky was spectacular.  It was hard to keep working.  I wanted to sit and watch the clouds and enjoy the brilliant color.

The start of salsa week!  This pot isn't all tomatoes!  There are sweet and hot peppers, garlic, onions a little salt and some vinegar, all combined to make some pretty terrific salsa.
