What do these farmers look like?



From Left to Right:
Mark (he will do occasional filming), Hailey (she started the project), Ben (yes he is wielding a machete), Seth (I wish I could remember what he was holding), Marie (that's me!), and Emilee (she's down front striking a pose).

And that's the gang, ya'll.

Where is all of this stuff?


This is the first draft of the "map" of our garden. Emilee has since drawn up a new one with everything filled in and tons more detail. The garden is 86 x 42 feet. The right side is the back of the garden, facing out toward the pasture. The left side of the drawing is the front side of our garden, and the top would be the left side of the garden, which faces the pond and Grandma Connie's House.

More on Grandma Connie later. WAW -What a woman!
