 Our friend and market neighbor Christina (The Flower Lady) will  be moving back to Germany at the end of this market season. She started selling at the Corning Farmers' Market a few years before we did. And she has been there just about every Thursday for the past 20+ years. Her loyal customers and friends will definitely miss her.

When Liz went up to the pond last night she came upon a deer and her fawn in the water. 

So many green beans right now. Its hard to keep up with them. Good problem to have!

With so much rain we had to put our gutter system back on one of our hoophouses to help keep from flooding the field, Usually we only need these during Spring rains.

 This is all one branch of Barry's Crazy Yellow Cherry Tomatoes. They are crazy indeed.

We have received comments from some who would have liked to attend our farm potluck this past weekend but were unable. So we thought we would schedule another.
