AT HOME
I'm a little confused as to what season we are really in, and I am not sure if summer has officially begun, but in spite of the crazy weather my gardens are producing full steam ahead. At home I have picked tons of lettuce and the spinach and radishes have already finished. Carrots and beets are coming and I've picked peas, beans and cucumbers. Eggplants have lots of blossoms and tomatoes are waiting for their chance to turn green. I've harvested herbs and lots of lavender and all of this is in the home garden. At the farm we've planted mostly crops that need low maintenance so if we are only down every three weeks or so they can get along without us. Winter squash looks great and potatoes are happy - especially now that they are covered in hay/mulch. That ought to keep them from drying out. Even the flowers are hanging in there in spite of the heat and no regular watering.
John Deare headed down there this past weekend but it was a working weekend for me so I had to be satisfied with a few pictures and his sketchy details on how things looked. I plan to head down this weekend to see it for myself. Hope this cool weather holds on until Friday! And the first haying is done so things look cleaned up and orderly.
And I have been busy with my CSA share and keeping up with the blog.
