New Potatoes

We have been harvesting new potatoes the last couple of weeks and bringing them to market. It is so amazing to have them already. These are ones we started in March in the hoophouse. Then later after we stopped having frost we moved the hoophouse off and put tomatoes in it.

Garden Growth

The garden is growing well and so are the weeds! We are trying to get everything planted this week. In the hoophouse the squash is looking really good. It gets bigger every day. Outside the strawberries are blooming, a few peas are getting close and the potatoes are huge. Hopefully we will have new potatoes soon!!

New Ducks

I have four adorable baby ducks. They are Khaki Campbells and are supposed to be good for laying eggs. I am hoping that I ended up with one male and two females, so I named them accordingly. They are Mr. Darcy, Miss Matty, Little Dorrit and ... well actually I can't think of a fourth name. So I am still thinking.

Planting Potatoes

We have been very busy this past week working in the garden; planting weeding, and watering. Planting potatoes took up quite a bit of that time. We planted 24 rows. We have several varieties including Yukon Gold, Russet, Red Norland and Fingerling.

David loves to help us plant things, especially onions and potatoes. His method of planting potatoes is to take as many as possible and put them in on area(most likely the path) then try to bury them. It is very cute so I had to snap some pictures. After I took the pictures though I replanted his potatoes.
