Quite literally. For the last several weeks we have been working to get our planting done before it got really hot here, and today we finish up putting in the first round of vegetables.

Biodynamic, open-pollinated, heirloom seeds from Abundant Life and Nichols nurseries are going to provide us with Artichoke, Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Cabbage, Carrot, Celery, Chard, Chickpea, Corn, Cucumber, Eggplant, Garlic, Greens, Leeks, Lettuce, Melon, Okra, Onion, Parsley, Peanut, Peas, Pepper, Radish, Shallots, Soybean, Spinach, Summer Squash and Tomatoes. Most have already been sprouted in a mini-greenhouse, and all of our soil prep was finished yesterday evening, finally.

Still to plant are more herbs, some gourds, mushrooms and grapes and then it’s off to the nursery to get more fruit trees. Just call me farmer Jon.
