Coming home from far away is like jumping out of a moving car. You've got to hit the ground running. Life has been a whirlwind of jet lag and work days since we returned. We are fortunate to have great people taking care of things for us while we are gone. My brother Cody got a big crew together to spread straw in the garden.
They did a great job and things were looking pretty cheery when Kristin and I went there today to pull weeds in the salad bed.
The little valley that we planted in stays cool longer so our brassicas are doing well. We are just beginning to show the first signs of pest damage, which can escalate pretty fast in an organic setting. With every weed we pull and bug we crush we look forward to the day when we can own some property and have more influence over the cycles that take place in our garden.
Our italian kale looks amazing so we brought some home to simmer down with a splash of vinegar. The Peas are healthy the corn is growing and the squash is getting ready to take off. The expectation of bountiful food hovers in the air.
In three weeks we will begin sharing some of our produce with friends that purchased a share of our harvest. We are excited to show them what we've been up to.
