🌱🍅 It’s tomato staking day!

As our tomato plants grow, it’s time to give them a little support. Staking helps keep plants upright, improves airflow, reduces disease, and keeps fruit off the ground for cleaner, healthier tomatoes. It also makes harvesting much easier!

Just one of the many steps that goes into growing a great tomato crop!🍅🌱

🚜🥔 Potato hilling day!

One of the many steps that goes into growing a great potato crop. Hilling adds soil around the base of the plants, helping protect developing potatoes from sunlight and giving them more room to grow.

A little tractor work now means more homegrown potatoes later! 🌱☀️
