Our goal is to be Godly stewards as we work with the land, water, plants, and animals the Lord has given us.

There is a nice gentle rain falling right now. We have some things seeded outside, are tunnels are full and ready for some picking for saturday's market in Sioux Falls. We have 3600 plants ready to be planted as soon as the ground is dry enough for soil preparation, and then 100's more as soon as we get mulch down. Looks like next week is all sunshine, and we are so ready for a week of sunshine!

Potatoes are Planted!
I just needed to tell everyone that this past Saturday with help from some amazing kids/young adults we got all our potatoes for the main season planted. I'll have to look in notebooks but I think it is the earliest ever. Now today we tackle the seeds for carrots and spinach I hope we get done before the rain so they get a good moist start.
