The farm is in full summer swing these days! I’m mesmerized and motivated by the beauty & sustenance of it all, and simultaneously destroyed by 12 hour days, 7 days a week. Geez, can we really keep this up? Regardless, we’ll have some new offerings this week including freshly dug purple potatoes, and white satin carrots to complement the orange beauties. I’ll have LOTS of insane bouquets, as well as sunflowers by the stem. Eggs are in full force of course and bacon is plentiful!! Speaking of “plenty”, the peaches are weighing down the trees so badly this year that I hear these sickening cracks while I work, signifying another branch broken.😞 Nothing to be done about it now, but the high winds certainly don’t help! My “food not lawns” poppy mix is finally blooming, and although the wind is taking them out pretty fast, I’m enjoying their cotton candy colors as a backdrop to sweet potato planting & blueberry picking! Hug a farmer if you happen to see one. It ain’t for the faint of heart!❤️
