Sophie's Farm Lives!





This is the beginning of turning the back field into a vegetable farm.  As you can see, the field's been plowed/ploughed.  There are lots of rocks.  Every morning I've been throwing a few in the wheel barrow but Nic says it's the rocks you don't see that are the problem.  "The rocks you don't see?"  Hm...

So who's Nic?  Nic Coturri has done it all!

Here he is on his tractor.










                               . . .and spreading the compost





  . . . and putting out the pvc pipe for the irrigation















To seeding and finally,


TA DA!!!!!


As the cover crop grows, as things happen, I'll get back to you with updates.  Think of this as covered with with beautiful green and white flowers (only white flowers)...
