  • Welcome!

    I'm a farm wife, a mama and a photographer living in Virginia.

    My camera is typically filled with images of sunrises, dusty fields, even dustier children and whatever we happen to be planting or harvesting at the time.

    Thanks for visiting the farm!

Prepping the Fields

While this field sure is pretty, all of those weeds won’t do the corn any favors. They’ll suck up all of the nutrients and moisture and the poor, poor corn will struggle to grow.

 

This is the “look” we want. We want those weeds to be scarcer than hen’s teeth.

 

That’s where this comes in. We get our chemical/seed/fertilizer people (small town people multitask real well)  to come out and spray those weeds bye-bye.

 

And then the itty-bitty corn has the field all to itself.

I’m hoping in the next few weeks it won’t be so itty-bitty. I’ll keep you updated!

I loved the weedy field and that is exactly why nothing of worth ever grows here.
