Mid summer progress

Our produce continues to grow at an ever increasing rate. We figure our sweet corn has grown over 2 feet taller in the past 2 weeks! We have been busy trying to keep ahead of the weeds but they sure are persistent.

A couple highlights for the past few weeks:

• Our sweet corn has begun to tassel meaning that our delicious sweet corn is just around the corner. We estimate about 3 weeks.
• Our green beans are blossoming so we should have beans in a few weeks.
• Our tomatoes are blossoming and several already have fruit forming!
• Our chickens continue to grow as well, we think they are about 5 or 6 times as big as they were as babies! 

Enjoy this weeks photos!

This tomato is about the size of a baseball already!

This is our cauliflower plant. The leaves are already curling in and around where the cauliflower head will form.

We saved this dill from the weeds recently.

Kale is looking good!

Carrots are looking good!

Onions. The white orbs you see are flower bulbs.

This is our popcorn. We had to replant some of it due to rodent damage. They ran down the row and at all the seed.
