Hello from the gardens. Hard to say if it the busyness of the summer, or facing down all the weeds that don't stop growing with the moisture, but it feels like the dog days of summer. Happily it's also a time of abundance with many crops producing well and so many choices it's hard to decide what to have for supper!
It's also an exciting time with so many activities and fun things happening. Check out below for some summer time activities here at the farm.
