Return To Joes Farm

After a long absence I have returned to Joes Farm. I left the farm in the capable hands of my brother. He nurtured and cared for the farm as he cares for his baby, Toots, that is growing inside of his wife's stomach right now. I came home to a lush jungle of tomatoes, watermelon, peppers, zucchini, and corn to name few. Since the creation of Joes Farm I now understand what it feels like to be a parent that births, nurtures, cares for, and loves their child. I now have a mature full grown garden that has made me so very proud.

Today marked the first successful tomato harvest in the history of Joes Farm. It was a momentous occasion and we celebrated on the farm by eating some of those tomatoes. Which I might add were the most delicious tomatoes ever grown or eaten. The tomatoes harvested today were the heatwave variety. Last year we did harvest tomatoes but as a self respecting farmer I can't say that that I was successful. They were not big, beautiful, red, ripe, and delicious. Here at Joes Farm we demand excellence in our produce production.

We have some good growth in progress on our pepper plants and we were able to harvest a few cucumbers upon returning to the farm. There were not any pictures taken of the cucumbers because they were not around long enough for pictures to be taken. I can attest that they were some wonderful tasting cucumbers. Below are pictures of the peppers in the process of growing and the cucumber plant that produced the aforementioned cucumbers.

Next up we have a photo that shows cases the second field where you will able to see zucchini, corn, and some tomatoes. What you probably cannot see are the cantaloupe and watermelon that are growing in the back of the field. I am also including a close up of the zucchini plants that are growing like gang busters but have yet to produce any zucchini's. You will also see the corn stalks popping up around the edges.
