The look of someone who was caught pulling out field stakes. In no way does he look guilty 😆

Good thing I had already mapped where all pumpkin varieties were planted!

My ducks are never in a row. Thankfully the sweetcorn is. How cute are the tiny corn plants basking in the sunshine?

Now we’re farming 💃🏼

Spent this gorgeous evening putting in more pumpkins ahead of this week’s rain forecast. We are about 85% planted. Only short season varieties left.

The basement bathroom is probably an unexpected place to find a pumpkin plant. Not at our house 😊

Story I was told is that the 8 year old thought it “looked thirsty”.

Started our monster sized pumpkins indoors this year. Hope to transplant them next week once the weather warms up. We’re going for 1,000 lbs this year 💃🏼

Pumpkins are popping through. Season is starting 💃🏼

We are at the “Kicking Dirt Clods While Pacing Around” time of planting.

It’s to wet today. Maaaaaayyyyyyybbbbbeee tomorrow 💃🏼

While later than last year, we do anticipate quick start to the season with this heat. Seeds should germinate quickly getting the season off and running.

The April 10 planted sweetcorn started popping up

The April 10 planted sweetcorn started popping up yesterday. Exactly 4 weeks after planting. Aren’t they cute?!

Wet & cold has been the name of the game the past several weeks. Weather should shift today towards warmer & windy. We are 3 weeks behind average planting progress at Alt Farms. Warmer weather today will help dry the ground & make it “fit” for planting.

Found out about cottonwood “stars” today. There is a story about how a star loved the sound of laughter. So the star took up residence in a cottonwood tree to be close & helpful to people.

Been working on our guest room for years. Cleaned

Been working on our guest room for years. Cleaned up a fabulous dresser & vanity from my grandmother. But had an entirely blank wall left! Today @junkjubilee I hit the jackpot!!! An antique botany teaching canvas 😍 from @junkrefunkery It is fabulous. So many exclamation points of fabulous!!!

Picture 2 is the botany canvas. Who doesn’t need a dicotyledous stem cross section in their guest room?
