Things have been so busy that I've barely had time to sit down at my computer, much less update the blog. Summer brings constant chores and the hot weather has made it rather painful to get them done! I find myself waking at an insane hour for someone who is "off for the summer" but it's the only time I can get work done without melting away!
The garden has done well. I've picked Asian Yard Long Beans all summer and they are yummy! My squash started off strong but has finally been taken over by my nemesis, the squash vine borer. I've watched peppers, okra, tomatoes, and other wonderful summer crops come and go. Just last night I planted seeds for the fall garden. It's hard to believe that it's time already!
Charlie and Butterbean decided to go on a little adventure. They made their way over to the soybean field next door and just kept going! They showed up this morning on a neighbors back porch. He was drinking his morning coffee and looked up to see the goats peering through his back door! I loaded them up in the backseat (yes, I said that...) and brought them back home. We'll see how long it is before they decide to take off again?
Veggie box deliveries have been steady and I think everyone is pleased? They have included a nice variety of veggies, honey, eggs, and other "gifts". I have decided to keep the list to 6 for the fall as I'm finding that I just need more time and energy to get things done here before committing to more customers. I'd rather make a small group happy!
Thank you Mike Gerken for this amazing image of Ms. Papa doing her thing!
