So how about a month since the last post!

Wow, a month already.  That makes our son Jonathan a month already as well. 
     We have finally started to get our warm weather which is helping out our crops for sure.  The area has had a long wet, cold spring that went into the month of June.  In fact we had almost 3 times the average amount of rain this month which put us over 3 inches!  This cold and wet has slowed down the warm weather crops with many in the region losing crops of corn, beans, tomatoes, etc...  We have lost a few rows of crops ourselves.  Fortunately we waited on the tomatoes as they were started in the greenhouse. 
     This past Tuesday we had our first cookout of the season for our members and it went well!  We had about 30 or so people here for food and chance to sample some wines from Townshend Winery. 
     The recent harvest include garlic scapes, beets, radishes, turnips, various lettuces and greens, radishes, swiss chard, cilantro, chives, and peas. 
       As always we are in need of help with planting, weeding, and on Tuesdays harvesting.  If you have any time at all, please we would love to have you spend it with us.  We rely on volunteer help so we can keep our costs to a minimum. 
    Until next time, eat well, smile more, live better.
