i finally found last month's photos!


watering in the broccoli at last month's event.

So many thanks to cindy, tamara, joy, sarah, emily, jeanine, suzi, john, carolina, juliet, mary, david, chris, harold, and sarah for helping us have such a nice weekend! We had a tasty potluck lunch and then planted the last of our late season potatoes, the last four beds of slicing tomatoes, and put up a hundred tomato cages (a job that isn't too bad in a group, but can be a drag to do one cage at a time by ourselves.) It was a fairly warm day, but no chance of it raining and "spoiling our fun", it was sunny and dry as it has been for quite a while. It was a touch warmer than i would have scheduled it to be, but everyone was in good spirits and it was nice to have a group out to the farm. Thanks to those who could make it, we are working on scheduling our june event and hope to put it out there soon as to what it will be and when.

We are getting ready for the csa to start on June 2nd the first pickups for everyone will be that week (June 4,5,6) mark your date books accordingly!

planting potatoes


there are lots of birds nesting around the farm right now and some of our guests got to see the neatest little nest i've ever seen. the bird hollowed out a nest in a hay bale that is starting to break down. I guess it beats carrying all the hay into make a nest, just carry the hay out and make a hole! there are three hungry little song sparrows growing up in there. the starlings just fledged from our carport, so its been much quiter in there lately, though i believe soon we will have baby barn swallows to keep it lively in there. at any rate, soon we'll be posting weekly, check back then.
until then, have a great week!
