Home on the range

And after the long weekend of glorious family celebrating, it's back at it on the farm. Garlic scape pesto is on the list for tomorrow... YUM!
Snow Peas are so happy with these nights in the thirties and long day lengths!
Green garlic and snow peas
These radishes pack a punch: Marilyn is convinced they must be good for us, as they have such kick!! Garlic cleans up nice, eh?

One more week for our first CSA pickup-- the garden is coming along nicely. Tomorrow we continue on succession 2 of the major crops, as well as transplanting out some of the nightshades and getting the hoophouse ready for planting. It's a sweet relief to be able to commit the entire day to the farm, and I can't wait to get started for good. We'll see everyone soon!

  1. Nic!!! Can't wait to get our first share next week. My baby chicks are eating and pooping at high speed now, very high maintenance little buggers!The hens, however, continue to be delightful and entertaining. When are your first chickens done? (read: when does my plucker have to be finished and running?)

  2. Great! Glad to hear the input/output ratios are lining up on the meatbirds, and that the hens have personality to spare!

    I'm thinking the firs set will go the week of July 11th, with the next set to follow in two weeks. How's progress coming along??
    And count me in now for summertime fun adventures.. berry picking, plucker help, dog ramblings.. you name it, Jane!
