Once again we're back trying our hand at a bit of backyard farming. This year Marcus and I recruited Tanner into the mix. We've also made a dramatic technological advance in that our planter box is irrigated. This development should eliminate the primary cause of previous crop failures, an almost irresponsible lack of watering.
This said, our new planter box isn't without it's own challenges. It appears we have a raccoon with a taste for freshly planted seeds, who single-handedly dug up what must of been half our seeds the night of our primary planting.
The good news is we're already seeing a few sunflowers, pumpkins, peas and carrots poking through - so we should still have a successful year. As always, we'll keep you posted on any major developments.
This is great info to know.
