The Farm Report

From the garden

It wasn’t a big garden this year, but it has been bountiful. Despite far too much neglect, the basil, tomatoes, and peppers have been thriving. We tried onions for the first time this year, and could not be more excited.

(One thing that got demolished by pests—broccoli. Will be investigating floating row covers next time.)

The high tunnel is still under construction, but we hope to finish soon and to try a few things this winter.

This gardening thing? It’s like the Fourth of July fireworks. You spend a whole lot of time spreading out your blanket and finding a good seat, and then, all of a sudden, things explode into color.
