 Field peas, oats and vetch cover crop with part tarped to eliminate weeds. Fall and winter crops like carrots, beets, watermelon radishes and turnips will be planted here in the coming weeks. Gemini enjoying a puddle drink.

 Beet flowers that will form seeds for this fall and next year's beet crops.

 Freshly transplanted winter squash.

Leaf miners (larvae inside the leaf (yes, inside the leaf) in center of photo) have been big problems this year in our beets, chard and spinach. This photo is of a spinach leaf.

This Friday, June 30, we will have a potluck event on the farm. The farm is in full swing and its been a while since we have had an event. Come see baby goats, lightning bugs, smell the chocolatey beet flowers, feed the chickens, taste the first few ripe cherry tomatoes. We will start at 6:00. Bring a dish to pass and one to eat from.
