Little by Little

Well, another weekend under our belts, and once again, I feel like I have been belted! I need to get help...I need to realize I am just not capable of doing this by myself with a full time job already. This is a full time job, too! This weekend I got the remainder of the cabbage in, red and green. I got the asparagus covered with compost, and will wait for it to catch up before adding the next couple of inches. I had a row of mulch cloth left from last season that I am reusing, so I planted the summer squash yesterday in half of the, the rest will soon be zucchini.




I got started on the gazillion heritage tomatoes that I have ready to go in. It sure gets pretty hot in the heat of the day! So I took a break (ha!, took a break to go to the homestead and weed and plant flowers there, the weeds are out of control in my flower beds - I need a gardener too! LOL) and at about 8 went back up to the farm. The chickens are not ready to go to bed until almost 9:30 now, so they keep me up too. I thought I might as well take advantage of the cooler temps, and it would have been enjoyable if I was not in so much pain! I managed to get a few more tomatoes in, and watered everything because they will all be in the sun all day today. Here below is my row of tomatoes, about a quarter of the way completed. The goal is to do a little bit each night until finished. Did I mention I ache??
