Dear Friends,
It’s still pretty much happy days at the farm with moisture in the ground and cloud cover so working conditions are still pretty good. For the most part, I present a positive slant on things however, there’s a rant coming. And yes, it has to do with ‘unauthorized reproduction’. They say for every cloud there’s a silver lining and the opposite is true too – for every inch of rain there are repercussions. It comes in the form of blooms of life forms that just adore our chemical free land. Fellow gardeners will understand when I say that wresting food and flowers from the earth is a battlefield!
Here’s a partial list:-rabbits, squirrels, gophers, voles, raccoons, skunks, black and brown widow spiders, aphids, plant fungus, snails, slugs, raccoons, skunks, lots of snakes (good and ‘bad’) and weeds…back breaking soul tormenting weeds..invasive, sneaky, pervasive and overwhelming. So back on goes my hat and gloves..there are battles to be won!
Flowers are a wonderful gift for friends, family or associates. We’d be happy to include an extra bouquet or two to your deliveries. They’re available through
the Green Store or drop me a line and we’ll include them for you.
Thank you for all for your support. As the last little farm in the whole area, sometimes we feel like the little Dutch boy with his finger in the dyke holding back catastrophe. We remain stalwart.
Happy cooking and smelling the flowers!
