Planting

On June 30th, David was busy planting.
Dumping seed into the planter.
"We need to move these levers, right Daddy?"
Sunflower seeds are so nice and smooth.
Planting.
We planted a small 'test plot' of popcorn. Here they are checking to see if the planter
did it's job properly.
It sure did!

Four hours after being planted, this little soybean is already starting to swell. The soil was pretty dry to be planting, so we were glad to see this good sign!

Examining more seeds throughout the field.


We also planted a wee bit of ladyfinger popcorn, a different variety of soybeans, and some amaranth. So I had the pleasure of seeing my man with a hoe in his hand, instead of the usual steering wheel.
