This week at the Farm

Today was our first delivery day for our CSA. Our members can find copies of the newsletter here.

I realize once the season begins time seems to fly so fast. So I decided that for each Monday I would share pictures of what is happening at the farm this week.

Zucchini blossoms. Italian cooking batters and fries these, but right now they are too precious for that. Maybe next year I will plant some plants just for the blossoms.
 

Eggplant blossoms.

Lettuce that will hopefully be big enough for next week’s box and behind that green beans. I am guessing about 3 weeks for those.
 

Our first strawberry with more to come.

Sunday Avril just took off riding with virtually no training. Our farm manager has a daughter about Avril’s age who has graciously shared her bikes. Now the 2 of them love riding around the farm together.

Nest with 3 baby birds just peeking out. I think they might be barn swallows but I’m not sure.
