Part of the garlic harvest. We were trimming and putting them in crates to make way for the onions to be cured on the same tables.

We just moved the chickens to a new spot in the field. After they have been in one spot for a couple weeks they have chomped down all the grass and there's not much left that is exciting to them. This is of course one of the main reasons we have chickens - so they can clean up weedy areas. So when we move them to a new spot and let them out of the coops they all run and and scatter happily and start scratching and pecking at new ground. Yesterday we moved them onto the block where the garlic was this year. The garlic was mulched with hay so they love scratching through it to find worms and seeds.

 Lately it seems that half our lives are taken up with picking beans

Whew!!!

We have really been pushing ourselves these past few weeks trying to get everything harvested for the markets. I guess this is a good problem to have, but it does cut into other farm time and it does start to wear us down. But the weather has been great and most crops are growing quite well.

We apologize for the lack of salad greens last week. We try hard to have salad greens of some kind (spinach, spicy mix, lettuce mix, lettuce) every week. But we fell down on planting a few weeks ago and so we have a lack of greens right now. We will have some small lettuce heads this week.
Garlic bulbs are back. We have begun the garlic harvest - a little late this year due to the cold spring weather.
