Dear friends,
you have not heard from me in a long while. It has been an emotional time with Steve's mom in and out of the hospital, Steve having his appendix out ( fortunately on a Saturday) and my aunt Puddi in Germany terminally ill with cancer. We got the garlic out in late July, just hung what did not get peeled. We had a wonderful crew digging and peeling and painting for two days, thank you, thank you !!!.

 soooo much garlic |  tying garlic |
 Live music |  art at the garlic fest |
I wanted to go to Germany for two weeks right after garlic fest and had to organize a home for the cows, found a farm, had to move them again in the middle of garlic fest to another farm because they could not milk Goldie's short teats. That night we found out that our flight to Boston to get to Germany was cancelled, found another flight from Saranac Lake, took the bus and could find no bus or Taxi or Uber from Saranac to the airport and were ready to hitchhike when the manager from NORI'S store came through and dropped us off in time. Nori's store buys veggies from us whenever we can get them there and they were so kind to help us out, Thank you!!! We missed a day in Boston with Seba but made it totally exhausted to Germany where Kira and I took care of my aunt and saw the whole family for two weeks.
bringing flowers to Puddi
That was a treat since I had not been there in 1 1/2 years because of covid. My aunt is doing better for now, Steve's mom is out of the hospital and we caught up in the gardens with the most urgent weeding. The garden crew did wonders keeping it all together, the harvesting, planting and weeding. Thank you so much!!!
The gardens are looking good and are enjoying this mornings rain. Unfortunately all the broccoli leaves got harvested as collards and the broccoli also has been eaten by woodchucks I think. I hope the cabbage will make it for winter, the kale is coming along. The tomatoes are so delicious. I had the first on the night before I went to Germany and was wow, that is what I waited for for so many month and now I am leaving, but coming back there are lots of yummy tomatoes here.
We just started the second planting of green beans and harvested 117lb yesterday. If you want any for freezing, we offer bulk beans 5lb for $12.50 or 10lb for $20. Let me know, they are tender young fresh beans.
I hope you are doing well,
peace, Dulli
