how could i refuse brandyn's eloquent insistance to "blog dammit"...
our farm is starting to look like a farm now - meaning there are vegetables growing where there were once just weeds and dirt. it is very exciting and my anxiety about being ready for our first CSA day is a bit quelled. we've got 17 families that we are providing veg for this summer, although heaps more have inquired about the CSA at the farmers market. so we'd better grow some veg for them. a couple weeks ago - right at the one month mark - things were looking a bit dire. we still had a bunch of plants to put out and we had a week of rain keeping us from doing anything we really needed to do - like plant the tomatoes. but now that is all done and the first lettuces are ready and the zuchinni's have flowered. all is well. so 2 weeks from tomorrow right about 4pm people will be coming to collect the begining of their organic bounty that they have entrusted us to provide them. it is pretty exciting.
if anyone wants to come help, you are more than welcome. or if you just want to come hang out in the shade and drink iced tea while i toil in the dirt, you are welcome to do that too. Lara and Mary came out and helped us plant the onions which was a HUGE help.
the farmers market is great. there is a wonderful community here in woodstock that i am beginng to get a glimpse of as i meet people at the market. and i can sell my jewelry there - i sold 1 piece last sat. which has renewed my interest in making more.
also - if anyone wats to move out here from mid aug - the end of october - let me know. the house is big and i'll be all by my lonesome. or if you don't want to move out, but you want to spend a lot of time here - that would be cool too.
it was super to get to see brandyn & nicolas and to rock out to the warsaw village band for georgia's graduation celebration. i almost melted when the women began to sing.
i must go let the cat in now. cioa.

zucchini flowers are particularly yummy fried if you feel like trying your hand at some haute cuisine.
