Update

( The Count from Sesame Street)

1,2...2 sunshiny days in a row. WOW!
I picked 1 lb. of beans day before yesterday. This morning? 3 more pounds. AMAZING.

Last weekend was a bit nuts. We had Farmers' Market on Saturday and then Open Farm Day on Sunday. What a wonderful reception we had. So many people came to see our operation here, more than last year. For 5 hours or so we walked people around the greenhouse and the gardens and explained the different methods of growing, the various forms of hydroponics and semi-hydro etc... We were informed that some of our gardens were a model of perma-culture. Which I found interesting. We just plant every year. We observe. "Oh, look, this soil is way too wet. It's not draining." So that area became raised beds to fix the issue. Folks enjoyed the gardens, which made me feel good.



This weekend is Washington Days.
Jamming happening shin dig with music, food, vendors, parade etc...
This ought to be pretty lively.
