🎃 🚜 You can row the pumpkins!!!

If you know, you know. 😂

The excitement of seeing these tiny plants pop up through the soil, is probably the same excitement your farmer gets when they can row corn.

It’s the little things around here that gets us excited and makes us feel like we are doing things right!

Does anyone else get excited about rowing crops?? 🤣🤣🤣

The boys have been asking to plant watermelon…. We gave them their own field 🍉 🌱

We planted:
✅ over 300 watermelon seeds
✅ 50 pounds of potatoes
✅ muskmelon
✅ and a few honeydew… because why not🤣

The boys are excited to see the field come to life and care for it this summer! Fingers crossed all goes good the boys will have watermelon and potatoes in the store this fall!

Barb and I finally took a trip to the greenhouse….. I was holding off until it warmed up some. I think we can say it warm up🤪

Now to get everything planted. And can you guess who is most excited to help keep everything watered??
He made sure to ask dad if he could turn on all the hydrants and had to help make sure they each sprayed water 💦

Bring on summer and water fights 🚿

Pumpkins are in the ground and boy is that a good feeling!!
Hard to believe Thursday we were planting in sweatshirts and Monday we were planting in shorts and sunburn.
These kids love helping and being apart of the farm life.

Clues on what’s on the list left to plant. 🌽 🍉 🥔

We borrowed Demuth Family Cattle Co. “big” tractor to help with field work this spring. It worked wonderfully. This will turn into pumpkins!

Well Chicken 🐓 math or I should say Duck 🦆 math is getting real over here. 😂🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Dave didn’t make it out of the farm store without any ducks. He has been waiting for these to be in stock so I guess we can let him have them.

He is loving all the animals. It’s a toss up on what’s his favorite but I would say it’s between Elvis and the ducks!

Here is our schedule for the summer. At this time we are not looking for other events to attend.
