| 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.
