Don't think about it, Can't live without it.

Jobs, careers, professions, apprenticeships, work, employment. All names we give to that process that grants us the power to do "Things". Yet, woefully cuts short the amount of time for an individual to do said, "Things". Today i will talk about my JOB...


*rising from his chair with one hand raised, and another across his heart, the man speaks. "My name is Forrest, and I am a Farmer... "*





I work at a place called Joe's Garden's.

__________That's it right there------------>

It's an amazing, farm/nursery/JOB. I have just started my 5th season this year and all ready i'm feeling the powerful energy of the farm. We've been spending a lot of time this year redesigning a system of laying the tarp floors securely on the ground. so for the last week i've been helping to drill holes in concrete, and screwing down halved PVC pipe. Among that though we've also been pressure washing a green house, planting starts, transplanting plants, climbing on greenhouse roofs, and TODAY was the big move day! we moved all the seedlings we started in december out into our renewed/cleaned/heated greenhouse.along with 2 full rows of baskets.



I decided to try and take pictures of the amounts that we moved. so i took morning afternoon and end of day shots of both green houses.

* But first some pretty pictures of herbs...*


-Garden Sage-
(I know a good chicken sage cheesey goodness recipe,
I want to do this summer on the grill.)

-Lemon Thyme-

-One part of the farm all furrowed out, and soaking wet-

*O.K. now some pictures of the moving process.*

-Early Morning Greenhouse 1+2-
(6 bays of pansies, 4 bays of herbs, 2 bays of
onions and artichokes, 18 rows of hanging
baskets,7 racks of strawberry starts)
-Cleaned Greenhouse 4 with new tarp securements-

-Mid Day-
(Baskets have all been moved, pansies have been
started, and all herbs have been moved.)



-End of Day Shot-
(All pansies, onions, artichokes,
parsley, and strawberries have been moved.
and basket stuffer flower starts arrived on the truck today.
