Farm Camp: mixing seeds and planting cover crops

Mixing seeds for a cover crop. And in the background there is a bee hive-called a Warré Hive. The girls also helped me to paint a strip of beeswax on all the top bars where the bees will build their comb.

Back to seeds: Barley, Buckwheat, Dutch Clover, and Field Peas mixed in the seeder on the back of the tractor.  

These seeds will go in the field with the bee hives, so forage for them is a consideration.

off to the field.  

Some seeds had to be spread by hand

to make sure the crop would grow evenly.

Ready for more tractor work.

The other tractor can

tamp down the ground.

And after a long hard day of work, the girls even washed the dishes.
