First sunflower blooms...

This is our first sunflower to bloom.  From this angle it almost looks like an airplane.

We have reached 100lbs in fresh fruit and vegetables.....



After today's harvest we finally reached our first harvest goal of the year.  This year we have weighed everything, fruit and vegetable, that we have taken out of the garden.  This is the first year we have ever done this so I am not sure what to expect.

My goal this year is to grow 500lbs of food.  This is not great compared to some of the gardeners that I follow that have raised 7000lbs of food in their backyards but it is a start.

To the right top of my blog is a harvest summary that I update daily as we weigh our harvest.  You can keep up with my harvest there and sneak a peek to how close I am to my goal.

As of today I am at 102lbs 10oz.

A few pictures in the garden this morning....

We planted flowers in this old log by the wood shop.  They have really done well here. 

One of our chickens "Ruby" was playing peekaboo with me this morning.  She kept peeking back and forth around the coup.  She wasn't sure about me being in the run with her.

God has really blessed us this year.  My only prayer is just some rain.
