4th of July Weekend Update

This was a big weekend for high tunnel #2! The end walls were finished and on went the plastic.

By late in the evening we were ready to attach the long pipe used for rolling up the sides.

In the fields we have some little veggies emerging everywhere! This is a baby pumpkin.

Summer Squash coming along nicely!

The tomatoes in tunnel #1 are looking great, we can't wait to bite into one!!

We finally got our corn planted this past week, it was just popping through in this photo. Not knee high by the 4th of July!
This pumpkin plant is doing amazingly well compared to this photo taken a month or so ago. The difference is amazing, we lost some plants due to the cucumber beetle but the ones that made it look great!! We filled in the holes with babies and they also are doing well.
Here is a birds eye view from the scaffolding at the back of tunnel #1, a nice look at some of our outside veggies.
And from the other side of the tunnel you can see the pumpkin/squash patch growing well.
The scaffolding was in place so we could secure the plastic to the end. Here is Jason trimming the plastic after the wood was screwed on.
By Monday night (the 4th) we were ready for a little party! BBQ, salads, chips and more! You can see the tunnels in the background looking nice and trim!

Enjoying the food and fellowship!

Next was the fireworks pre-show!

The day time fireworks were a treat for us all but especially the kids...
...one shot little parachutes everywhere! The kids had a blast trying to catch them as they fell from the sky! The real fireworks came later, our own private show! Thanks to Mark, Jason, and Zack for putting it on.
