Collards almost big enough to hide Charles Baker "Dill" Harris.

Finally...

...it feels a little bit like summer, and the produce continues to roll in.

First garlic (and only garlic) and thanks to Mrs. Festa for bringing those bulb seeds back from the Garlic Festival in Massachusetts.













More yellow squash and the first cucumbers.













More beans, peas, and potatoes. Feel free to take as many beans as you want.













We also had some surprise visitors stop by. Nieces Emma (pictured) and Piper, came around with their father and grandparents to help out for a bit. Here Emma is helping wash carrots that just came out of the ground. Photo is from a cell phone.

Making Progress Losing Ground

Life here at the Farm School is finally waking up a little bit after all the rain and cool weather we have been having. Unfortunately the grass and other undesirables are a bit overwhelming and that is where the losing ground part comes from. But the sun was booming today and there was a nice harvest of potatoes (red, russet, and Yukon Gold), true baby carrots, and green beans. There are plenty of sweet peas on the vine and more green beans so if you are down near the gardens feel free to pop in and pick as many peas and beans as you can manage.
