Tomatoes and beets are noticeably missing from this list. We have planted 125 tomatoes so far, and they are located in our newest production field with the beets and other crops.
Now that we are growing the bulk of our vegetables behind the blueberry orchard, we have a lot more space to play with in the kitchen garden. I'm super-pumped about the pumpkin (and melon/winter squash) patch. I can't wait for the sea of green that is to come. I'm sure the hens are excited about all the squash bugs I'll be collecting for them!
