We are so happy to have the first green beans and zucchinis and the last of the peas. It is so great to have fresh veggies after a long winter and spring of root crops from the root cellar.
Enjoy and peace, Dulli

Dear Friends, it is garlic time! We have started harvesting the first of 8 beds and it looks great, fat and not very many small ones! The weeding and watering and recent rains did their magic. The barn and my hands smell of garlic. Come an be part of the annual harvest fest Saturday digging from 9am peeling from 11 am on. Garlic is the easiest to clean to look nice for sale when it just comes out of the ground. We invite friends and family to help and take some garlic home to get it done in 1-2 days so we can go on with the other veggie work during the week. Baby cow Juniper is three weeks old now. She runs, jumps and gets licked by her two mother cows. I had to adjust the halter twice already. The miracle of Carol is that Carol has not been milked for 4 years since she fed Goldie, Junipers mother. When I am milking Goldie in the barn and Juniper is thirsty she goes to grandma Caro; and nurses her. And Carol has milk again! That is good for me because she can drink and I get more milk. Goldie is not so sure if she likes it. She looks at them when it happens. In the gardens we are almost done planting fall roots. It is getting real late for the last potatoes to go in. I bought the seed potatoes and don't want to let them go. It is a short season variety and I can cover them from the first frost if needed. We already planted 800' so the CSA is covered. We are looking forward to be busy with maintaining the crops: weeding, trellising, harvesting and eating them of course. Today we tied up the field tomatoes and when I looked at the last newsletter they grew enormously. We are doing a lot of weeding and getting through the fields slowly. So much work. The rains bring on the weeds too.
