Schneider family farm update

Aaron built us a new garden box a few months ago to match the one we picked up on Freecycle last year - and we finally planted our summer crop! We installed a drip water system and outsmarted Alex this time by adding a plastic chicken wire on top of the soil. It has successfully kept him out, plus an unintended side benefit is that the squirrels aren't able to 'plant' their peanuts either.

This year we hope to harvest loads of strawberries, zucchini, squash, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, yellow pear tomatoes, swiss chard, corn, blueberries, red & yellow bell pepper, and carrots. The second photo was taken a few weeks after planting and the seeds have officially become seedlings.
