I started this blog to record my experiments/adventures in the land of urban agriculture. It is growing into a garden consutation business. I will be happy to advise, plan, install and maintain (or any combination thereof) a garden for you. Contact me for more information at lknzfarm@gmail.com or 678-427-3101, or message me at Elkins Farm and Garden on FB.

What's Coming and Growing on the Farm

This is the first bed of sweet taters. There be another bed of nine once I take care of the warrior ant problem in that bed.
My second produce to come out of the garden. It's a white squash or scalloped squash. The white squash is one of the oldest squashes and has long been a staple of eastern Native American cuisine.

Down on the Farm

Claire and Pearce were very eager to use their new farming equipment the Davis' gave them. Spent some time hoeing and raking and staking 'maters.
Opposite ends of the garden was a necessity. They're going to need to work on swinging implements safely in close proximity to one another.

Garlic Drying Barn

Aragog's web. Can't see it to well but the yellow rope is there.
Nearly there on the tarp coverage.
A place to cure my garlic without stinking up the house. Maybe store some equipment out of the garage.

First Harvest is Up and Curing




First crop of the year presented by Pman. That would be a cool drying frame if it weren't going to be 'mater stakes.

Boring Old Details

1/2" rain yesterday evening. No watering until Friday if at all this week.

Need to start seeds for last of summer squash, next round of tomatoes, winter squash, pumpkins, and maybe eggplant. I also need to decide how I'm going to do my sweet taters. Do I buy slips or do I make them? That's the $2 question. Tune in tomorrow, "same Bat-Time, same Bat-Station"
