Spray plane over my home

One of the great things about living in a farming community is seeing some amazing things.  Yesterday the spray plane was spraying a nearby field.  It is so fun to watch.  He comes right over our place and I always go out to watch.  Mocha does too!  She will wait and watch as he go from one side of our place to the other.  Today one of my grandsons was chasing him.

Planting Prep

 Starting to sort through our seeds to see what we have.  We have some left from last year that we will be using, but also ordered seeds during the Winter.  We are receiving our seed packets daily from Johnny's.  My husband works on a farm and had a seminar where a Representative from Johnny's came to show off his seed.  They have a really good germination rate which made my husband very happy!  So he ordered most of our seed from them.  The other seeds we have had good luck with is: Survival Seed Vault - Heirloom Emergency Survival Seeds - Plant a Full Acre Crisis Victory Garden - 20 Easy-to-grow Varieties.  We ordered ours from Amazon for about $30. 






This past weekend was manure day!  Got cow manure from a local farmer and spread it out.  Even the grandsons got dirty!  Then Mike rototilled the entire garden.  We then watered it all down.  This week we will plant lettuce, peas and radishes.
