A Whirlwind of Summer

As a lone lady farmer trying to keep up with an acre of land, I found it impossible to keep up with the blog as well. So here are a few snippets of farming since last April to catch you up to speed.

First the wild poppys bloomed.

Then the tomatoes went in...

The radishes flourished.

And where then harvested.

The onion scapes went to the restaurant.

And the spring garlic turned into soup.

The tomatoes grew up!

And there were turnips galore.

The squash plants made squash.

Next baby kale plants went in.

And the wild flowers bloomed,

While the artichokes choked,

The celery root rooted,

And the leaks leaked.

Then fava beans popped up.

And looked stunning all in a row.

It has been a more productive summer than last year which helps me feel like I learned something over the year and a half that I have been out here. I am enormously grateful to this piece of land and to Christian for allowing me to learn here. Enormously.
