Some of our tomatoes, green and red peppers, banana peppers and zucchini. |

Eight of our rows of corn. |
 |
Green beans, strawberries, potatoes and onions. |

Our final corn field - 10 rows, each 50 feet long |
As of yesterday, it's all in. Everything is planted now so that we should enjoy a harvest from late summer through late fall/early winter. We have staggered our planting so that we harvest for about a 6-8 week time period and not all at once. I'm exhausted.
Yesterday, I planted 10 tomato plants, 4 red peppers, 4 green peppers, 4 banana peppers, 4 zucchini plants, 2 cucumber and some herbs. On Saturday, Jordan came over and helped us plant our last crop of corn - Our first crop has finally come in, and over the past 4 days, I have thinned them down to what we will finally produce. Some of our green beans haven't come up, which I'm disappointed about. It's in the row that I think Kathryn and I were having a little too much fun that we weren't as attentive in our planting skills. Actually, the row looks like we were drunk. But it's okay. We should still have a good harvest.
Now, the watering, weeding and TLC kicks in for the next 4-5 months. I've already sunburned, tanned and sunburned again about three times over.
I'm pretty proud of my farmers tan.
