The big storm we got last week. If you look closely just above the trees on the right you can see a swirling green cloud of pollen.

 The end of the workday.

We are growing carrot seed for the first time this year. These are carrots that we saved over the winter and planted this spring. They are getting close to flowering. When they do, we will have to cover them with insect netting to prevent cross-pollination with the wild Queen Anne's Lace. Therefore I am going to have to actually purchase flies online this week! The flies will go in with the carrots under the insect netting.


We have been loving this weather! And so have the plants. That's good because there are more problem insects this year. It seems like most of our fields are covered in crop cover! We have added leaf miners (beets, chard, spinach) to the list of other lethal insects: Swede midge (broccoli, cabbage, kale), cucumber beetles (cucumbers, zucchini), flea beetles (turnips, radishes, mustard).

small share choose 5, large share choose 7
garlic scapes
