160 round bales are put up in the barn. It was a super first cutting considering we only got in 175 last year total. So we are way ahead of the game. Kind nice when something in this world is going okay.

We had a hot dry spell, then some recent rain and now more hot dry days.

Our shelling peans are getting ready to pick and now i’m adding irrigation to them so the peas stay sweet and tender. This means more juggling of time to irrigate everything that needs it. Lettuce is always a priority then carrots and peas.

We finished up harvesting the greenhouse carrots and next week should be able to start on the outdoor first planting for sweet carrots.

Peas and bean and zucchini are coming on. Cucumbers are never my best crop and this year they are just slackers taking their time putting on fruit.

Cam is getting in the last planting of sweet corn. Silver King. That should be ready in September but it' looks good for our first harvest to be in early August.

the beef herd is done having calves 5 girls and 5 boys for the year.

The piggies are now divided into 3 groups. One group is the last born on the farm and we will be retaining 2 of the femailes to restart the breeding program here. The other groups were purchased and grow so differently than our genetics. All look good but some are lazy some are escapees and some are just busy digging holes all over like pigs are prone to do.
