Things are off to a good start at the farm. Loquats are flowering, sugarcane is ready, the roselle is tasting nice, and the bok choi looks awesome. One half of the beans are doing phenomenal. The other half is not looking so great. I did the exact same thing to the two rows. The front half is full of beautiful picture perfect beans. The back half is still producing but not like the front. Very perplexing.
A few of the usual suspects are back as well...aphids and my nemesis flea beetles. Otherwise things are alright. I am still trying to get the greenhouse set up for the tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and strawberries. I've got the tomatoes in and the irrigation drippers set up. I just need to order the roof plastic.
I planted a few trees over the last few months two pears and an apple. Last week I planted three persimmon trees. One was for Karl Rossa passing.
I hope to have a few pictures soon.
I will unfortunately miss the first week pick up because I will be doing Extension work in La Victoria, Dominican Republic. I have been asked to see if I can help out the village agriculturally. Jenn will have harvest duty for the first time. I called my Dad out of retirement to lend a hand which he graciously accepted. Thanks Dad! I hope things go well for her. I'm sure she will handle it just fine.
