We’ve Got Stuff a’ Growin’…and it’s {mostly} more than weeds!

We've Got Stuff a Growin'...and it's {mostly} more than weeds! | The Easy HomesteadHey y’all! I just wanted to post some pics of what we got growin‘ around here in these parts. First, let me start by sayin‘ ‘WE WILL BE DOING SOME MAJOR WEEDING THIS WEEKEND‘…as you can see we need to do. But hey…hubs (Beau) had to work 7 days in a row, so we haven’t gotten around to it…yet!

Pictured above is our 18ft X 36ft hoop house (series coming soon on how to build it). In front of the hoop house we also have an 18ft x 36ft (ish) garden. 

We (or I should say I) am new to gardening. Hubs has been doing it for a while, but not to this extent.

We planted our seeds a little late this year. We wanted to get started in April, but we didn’t get to start planting until May.  All of our seeds are heirloom AND Non-GMO. We bought our seeds from White Oak Family Farm – a family farm in Tennessee and Seeds Now!

At first I thought NOTHING was growing. I looked EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. for signs of life. Nothing seemed to be growing!

I mean seriously…I thought things would happen MUCH faster.

After what seemed like forever the sprouts began to emerge.  They got bigger. And bigger. And bigger! 

So, here we are today.

Beau wanted me to wait until all the weeds were pulled because it would look better for the pics. But I had different plans. I just wanted to ‘keep it real’ for y’all…you know what I’m sayin‘?  Bam! Enjoy the pictures!
