Hard to believe it has been 11 days since my last post.  Twelve?  Too long.  I am so busy, not much time for blogging.  Today I went out to the farm and planted the next row of corn.  Yesterday, Kylie and Michelle planted the beans in the first row.  We have corn plants already!  And they were noticeably taller today than yesterday.  They are doing well.

I also planted the next two zucchini plants. I only plan on doing the four, but I might add a couple more.  Those plants are hyper-productive.  The first two are out of the soil with good, strong cotyledons.

Aside from the above, we have a few strong sunflower seedlings and some borage.  I don't know if we have anything else.  All the other seedlings in the beds are either grass, weeds, or could be weeds or crops.  :)

At home, the tomato seedlings are kicking ass, most of the peppers are looking good, and we have onion seedlings.  We have a bunch of marigold sprouts, but they don't look too good.  The corbaci peppers have not sprouted.  Only one of about 9 seeds came up.  I am going to replace the corbaci with more of one of the other kinds.  I'm also concerned about the strawberries, wormwood and chamomile.

The lemon balm are growing, but the leaves don't seem so healthy.  They just feel dry and papery instead of moist/oily, and they tend to go yellow/brown or curl.  But the plants seem vigorous.  Go figure.  The mint and strawberry plants are strong.

All-in-all, a good start to our farming venture.  Challenges of course remain (understatement), and we will have to start figuring out a plan for moving our operations to New York City.
