Sunday Aug 16
Hello everyone
So glad the warmer weather is back, I'm not ready to bid farewell to summer...not yet. Friday night's heavy rain allowed us to see our new drainage at work. It was a beautiful sight...watching the overload of water making it's way from all parts of the farm to the chicken pasture. Knowing, that the days, to sometimes weeks, of endless rain and flooding our gardens are behind us! Sure the beds stay wet due to our clay soil but the dry up time is reasonable.
In your baskets this week:
Tomatoes
cucumber
zucchini/ summer squash
Garlic...one Siberian...and one Bogatyr
Beans
Hot Peppers...Jalapeno's, Chimayo, Aji Cristal, Hot Wax or Maules Red hot.
Extra Greens: Salad Mix and some beets with tops

| A favourite this year is not new to me but a real standout this year! Anna Russian you are beautiful and taste incredible!!!! |
 |
| Hauling from the field regularly now |
 |
| These creepy snakes hanging from the ceiling...Thai Long beans |
 |
| Installed the drainage pipe this week...just on time! |
While the swales help channel water away from the gardens the drainage pipe take over when the water flow is very heavy.
 |
| We had all our ditched turned into swales, instead of ditches. It's easier for us to get around with wheelbarrows and equipement. These still need to be seeded with White Clover. |

| Charlie the farm dog...such a popular guy at the plant sale...is always watching! |
