Summer Into Fall

Family, Farm

I have not posted much over summer so I will show pictures of some things that we have been doing.

Lots of vegetables this summer! This is all from one picking of peas!

 

The carrot digger

This is a carrot digger that Jesse made. It digs around the carrots to loosen our hard soil so we can pull carrots easily right out of the ground.

Takes a little weight to push it into the ground!

2014 Harvest

Farm, Work

Levi has worked for a local farmer for the last few years during harvest. But, this year, since he got an accounting job in Saskatoon, he had to show Jesse what to do because he was only available to help on the weekends. For the first couple years, Levi drove a Cat tractor, but last year he got switched to a John Deere 9200.

The Crooked Bush!

Crooked Bush, Family

In the past summer we had the opportunity to visit the crooked bush in the Hafford area, on the way home from a program. The trees appeared very interesting. There was another small bush right beside this crooked one, which had no crooked limbs even though they were the same type of trees.

A study has been done at the University of Saskatchewan, where they took from these trees and planted them at the University, and they still grow the same way. The Crooked BushThe Crooked BushThe Crooked BushThe Crooked Bush
