May 2009

 

EARLY MAY:


We finally covered the new greenhouse! 
Above--we have the first layer of poly on, now comes the 2nd layer.


Tom & John cutting the extra poly off.


Our 2 other helpers for the day... Howie & LeeAnn...we couldn't have done it without them!


Inside view of the new greenhouse....once Tom gets it wired up, we'll start moving plants from the small greenhouse over.


Tom, working on the wiring.

 

IN THE FIELD:


Cherry tree-- buds are starting to break.

 
Lower field with newly formed rows.


Tom, making rows for the potatoes which I'll be planting shortly!
