Update from the Gardens
We are getting the rain and we are getting the heat! Many of the seeds we have direct seeded over the past week are fully awakened now, especially after that surprise thunder storm we had on Wednesday. Beets, Spinach, Carrots, Parsnips, and Lettuce are all emerging with force. For the summer squash patch, we formed hills in our "Pasture" garden out of sheep manure and our compost, then we planted 4 seeds in each hill. Soon we will be preparing and planting out our Winter Squash patch!
