SQUASH PLANT

This weekend (July 23-25) we did some more watering of the plants since it just refuses to rain. The drip hoses are working great. We also fertilized with the fish emulsion, sheep manure and planted our 3 blackberry plants. Alex and his friend, Alex drove the truck and trailer to our friend's farm and picked up a load of more sheep manure. Cris purchased a scythe online and it works great to cut weeds. It is quite scary looking though and will take your leg off if you are not careful. It looks like the thing the grim reaper carries around.

Saturday night we had dinner with friends at Evergreen Dairy Farm in Middleton, TN. Dinner and conversation was great and it is nice to sample items from our friend's gardens. The dairy farm offers organic raw milk and I must say, it is delicious and their farm and operation is so beautiful and very clean.

Next weekend we hope to purchase the gates finally to put on the barn and we are also meeting with someone to discuss a gravel driveway.
