This year the Cauble's, Sowers', Osborne's, Stearn's (I think), and Danielle & I are going to be farming an area of the Cauble's property which we've all named "Cauble Farms". Today was the first major work day on the farm. Ryan and I built boxes for the square foot garden boxes while the ladies roped of and began working the farm rows. Then we all worked to compost, double-dig, and recompost the row areas. Virtually all afternoon we worked to the jams of Mike Stearns & Nate Pina, which helped time fly by. We put in about 6 hours today, and I think we were all impressed with what we got accomplished. The row areas are looking really good and ready for soil.
Next week we're planning on prepping the box garden areas, spreading soil (which may get done mid-week) and get some plant starts and seeds in the ground.
The full photo collection is on my facebook, but here are the highlights:
