Central NY farmers

Who knew we could build a house and grow crops at the same time?

Well, I don't think we're any competition for the real farmers. This is our whole crop of peas. Last year we got maybe 7 or 8 ears of corn. The year before was our first gardening experiment. We paid Shotgun Mike to prepare 2 fairly large garden beds for us. We added some composted manure and peat moss to the gravelly, partially clay soil. We planted 2 seed packets of sunflowers and 1 of winter squash. We got one baseball-sized squash and that's it. Groundhogs got everything else.
