Parents' Picnic

Annie, Sarah, and visitors Marilyn and Joe take a break by the tomato babies.  Sunday was our parents' picnic on the farm.  The 80+ degree weather was a huge change from the last time our parents were here when there was over 2 feet of snow on the farm!

^Diane, Ralph, and Megan assemble the wash station.  Right: A finished drying rack assembled from all salvaged and recycled materials!  (It's great to get a break from the sun here.)  

 < Part of our main summer crop field in process of being plowed up and tilled by tractor.  This plowed section measures at about a quarter of an acre.  We applied lime to the field to help balance our soil pH.










Before and After:  This is our keyhole bed section - the path is shaped like a keyhole within a circle to maximize bed space and minimize the space for paths.  This was a fun space to create and fill with lettuces, endive, greens, arugula, and radishes.
