My silent 2 weeks is over.

I apologize for my lack of posting for the past two weeks, since i was put on light duty from my doctor there hasn't really been all that much going on until yesterday. I tried my best to figure out what light duty was and failed miserably at it, so I've had a few days of pain but nothing that is all that major. Things have been moving along fairly well; things are growing and blooming and land is starting to be cleared for next year. So here are some pictures I've been taking over the past week.  There has been large amounts of growth since some of these pictures were taken. The misty rain today was preventing me from taking nice pictures today, i will try to take some tomorrow.

Poblano peppers


Peppers


Tomatoes. We have a fairly large amount of unripe tomatoes; unfortunately the weather has been really all over the place. Which has caused a fairly large splitting problem and blossom rot due to all the rain and the cold nights. Hopefully the next round that is starting will be a bit better. 


The squash is doing really well, i'm assuming that we will start seeing little baby squash soon. 


My poor crazy looking tomatillo's. They're actually doing really well and starting to fill out now. 


The corn has about doubled in size since i took this picture. 


Some young lettuce, we finally have enough stuff to go to market with this weekend. 


Picture of two of my dogs for good measure. 


So this is the land we're starting to clear for next year. Luckily there aren't too many trees, but enough to make hauling them away time consuming. 

First part down! We started this yesterday morning. 


You can see my neighbor back in there chopping them down. 


Yup, that's some trees. 


All the trees have been cut down and we should be finished cleaning it up by tomorrow. In about two weeks we will have the ground ripped up and we'll start tilling and seeding mustard. I am planting mustard to use as a green manure.  

I've very excited about this expansion. It puts my farm at about 3.5 acres, with another 1.5 acres to prep next summer. 

Well that's it for now, i will update with more pictures tomorrow.
