super happy exciting fun time!!

This Monday we are going to plant our 1st cover crop...white clover. I am a little bit confused as to how much we actually need to plant for 3/4 of an acre. I think lil' george bought 2.5 pounds and that ought to cover what we need.

We are attempting to plant clover as an alternative to chemical fertilizers. We hope that the clover will give us a jump start for next year. Our goal is to be able to plant lots and lots of stuff next year. It will be interesting to see if the clover makes a difference. Even though i have a limited amount of knowledge about farming, I am becoming increasingly excited about what we are doing.

I am super excited about being able to do a dinner at Tom/Wendy's property next year. This dinner will be incredible because we plan on picking all of our ingredients before cooking them to ensure maximum freshness/flavor.

It is incredibly fulfilling to know that in less than 2 years(i hope) that we will be able to grow most of our own produce.
