A Month of Growth

We've now been here a month and i cant help but wonder where the time has gone. Perhaps the old saying should be revised to “time flies when you work on a farm.” Its good work...and its hard work...and most often its good hard work. Sometimes its a matter of your enthusiasm holding up until your back gets used to it.

Its incredible how much growth has occurred in the gardens in the past two weeks.







We are just seeing our first delectable heads of broccoli and squash coming through


and we just harvested our first onions and garlic of the season...




The potato field is thriving and just received its final installment of planting thanks in most par tto our newest addition to the farm, David Dutton.



Corn transplants have gone in and are off to the races as much of the grass family is this time of year
.


As well, we've had an absolute abundance of various lettuces and greens being sold at the farmers market and donated to the local food banks which is a big part of our mission out here...feed ourselves, feed the community
.


Its not all work though...we had a great visit with Shanna's mom Melody,

as well as an amazing trip to the coast for a healthy dose of negative ions...


Coastal flowers are popping right now which kept Shanna quite happy.



Beyond that weve had some lovely time with our favorite farmhand, Jackson...which often includes funky monkey dance sessions
and the always popular funny-face face offs...
and other critical matters of mind and body.


We do spend quite a bit of at home time researching various aspects of growing good food...,


cooking good food...



and eating good food...
.

Its a simple, gratifying life but someone has to do it.
Love to all.
