I just can't get enough of these peas and their gorgeous winding, climbing vines...
Jacob's Cattle dry beans coming in... flanked by undercover summer squash, cukes, radish, and greens-- also a nice shot of the solar capture from the rooftops. With all of the torrential storms this spring, Reemay (floating row cover) has been a crop saver.
Chicks at three weeks
More peas-- sugar snaps and snows
Equinox looms on a chilly mid-June day
Garlic scapes!
Overwintered shallot blossoms: the experiment continues...
Advisee potatoes-- coming on strong and healthy. Nice work, girls!!
And lastly: not a bad mug shot from the dog who had a porcupine run-in only yesterday, resulting in being knocked out clean for a few hours, having dozens of quills pulled (not to mention a toenail trimming, too,) and still smiling. Thanks, Dr. Bob!
Crazy to think that iris, peony, rhodies, and the very last of the lilacs are still blooming... it's been a chilly spring. Word on the street is that peas still haven't showed up yet at Middlebury's market. CSA starts in two weeks-- sugar snaps and snow peas, lettuce, radish, green garlic, herbs, and with any luck, a few summer squash... In the meantime I'm off for my brother's wedding in Newport for a long weekend. All the chicks are on the farm, loving being outside, and I can't wait to kick off the season with you all!
Cheers!
