Summer is here!

Now that the rain has stopped, and temperatures are up to the high 80's and low 90's - crops are popping out of the ground!     CSA shares are starting with  green onions, garlic greens - oh so tasty just added to just about anything - baby lettuces, spinach and microgreens.     Tiny broccoli heads are beginning to form, and emerald green rows of seedlings have appeared in the dark damp soil.
We're focusing on weeding in the garden right now, as any transplanting done in this heat is too stressful on the young plants.
Our meat birds are managing to stay cool under the pine trees, coming out during the cool early hours and evenings to chase bugs in the grass and sample the clovers.   It's a nice looking batch of birds that will be ready toward the end of the month - you may want to place your order now before we're sold out!
