As you can see, the first bright red, crispy radishes are just starting to be ready. All this rain has been great for the garden, but not so much for opening the farm stand. If you are looking for bedding plants to take home with you, just be patient and the next sunny day, we will put the "Open" sign back out front and there will be lots and lots of tomatoes, eggplants, basil, squash and pepper seedlings for sale.
Also, if you have been out by the garden recently, you will notice a significant addition. No, we are not building a miniature St. Louis arch or advertising for any fast food chains, but thanks to Neil and Jeff, we are starting to construct the high tunnel! This will be an unheated greenhouse for extending the growing season and harvesting veggies throughout the Winter. We hope to have the skeleton for the hoop house up in the coming weeks and will then cover it with plastic when the temperature drops in the Fall.
So that's the news from work. As for myself, things are good. I'm keeping busy and enjoying life. Kaylin is coming to visit this weekend so hopefully the weather clears up and she likes Colorado. Congrats to her, mom, and Adrienne on graduating this past week! Now it's off to bake some bread, drink some maté, and watch the rain come down. Peace!
