Down On the Farm

2010-08-31 6 0 Vimeo

We had a lot of fun building and using our raised-bed gardens! A lot of sweat and learning, too. We planted zucchini and four kinds of tomatoes (all VERY successful), four kinds of peppers and two of cucumbers (most fairly successful), eggplant, strawberries and corn (all good but only a few fruit), asparagus (won't bear fruit until next year), and carrots (too soon to tell as of 9/1/10). We planted the zucchini squash next to the arched trellis because Kay thought it would grow up the wire. Next year we will plant morning glory flowers or some such. This movie is made from time-lapse sequences shot primarily on a Nikon D200 DSLR. The exceptions are the growth section which used an old 3megapixel Pentax point n shoot (it could be left outside w/o worrying about it), and the video section of the sod cutter which was done on a Sony Webbie camcorder. Assembled using iMovie '09. Music is from the copyright-free iLife library that comes with the Mac.
