Frost! and planting and stuff


It frosted last night. Thank you high mountain desert! The potato plants all turned brown. After talking to some others, though, it sounds like they should survive. Hopefully after I weed that area I’ll be able to take better care of them.

Farm Boy and I planted the corn today, as well. We planted eighteen rows of corn with over 50 seeds in each row. We’re hoping to feed our animals next year on the grains we grow this year. We have about six hundred more corn seeds ready to plant next week.

The raspberries are starting to blossom. It looks like we’ll be harvesting a lot more than we had hoped when we planted them at the beginning of the season.

The strawberry blossoms are coming and going, which means we should be harvesting some strawberries soon, too. We planted 340 strawberry plants, so we should have an abundant harvest!
