I've been really consumed with getting the house livable, and nearly got behind on the planting part of things! I've invited some friends out to help with my first planting this year. We'll be planting 6 beds of Onions and 6 beds of Irish Potatoes this Sunday. It might be a little ramshackle, because I don't actually have a transplanter. I will likely add some kind of furrower to my bedshaper so the rows are marked. If we don't get them all done, it will still be okay. I even disked up another field and seeded it in oats and vetch (that's what is in the broadcaster in the photo) I will be a good spot for some fall crops. Look for my next post, I'm going to talk about exactly what kind of farm Bootstrap will be. Like I said, this year Bootstrap is a part-time engagement for me, and intended to be my opportunity to think about what I really want my business to look like in the future. Basically how much Retail, Wholesale, or CSAs do I want. Or do I just want to pick one and get serious about that?
