Opening up land for a garden and orchard

After bushhogging the section of ruined sunflower field (thanks deer), I re-tilled it. Then planted some different things in it.

After one pass.

Got some more land cleared today. It was a welcome surprise to not be getting the "Biblical rain" that was called for this weekend.

Then we had a small campfire tonight and made some smore with the kids. Such a nice night out.

Got one of the newly cleared fields plowed. Now to let it sit a little while for the plant material to breakdown a bit, then hit it with the tiller. This will just get grass planted. Trying to expand some play area for the boys. The tractor was really struggling pulling the plow through this soil. Not sure whats going on. L gear full throttle and it was still bogging down. I swear ever since it came back from the dealership for service its been running different.

Got some seat time throwin some bigger rocks around the fire pit.

Looks like I was too late on planting the sweet corn for a late harvest. I planted two rows, and it looks like 2-3 sprouted.

The squash and pumpkin plants are looking hearty.

The rain and the warm days and cooler nights have really been kind to the pumpkin and butternut squash

Getting some broccoli crowns

Lack of time has given way to weeds. The rowed crops are still growing though.

The pumpkins and butternut squash are really taking over. We've harvested some bush beans already and have gotten 5-6 zucchinis so far. Its been a successful late planting thus far.
