June 2010

Lots of outdoor happenings here on the farm as well it should be since it seems that summer has come a month early. That is a huge deal up here in Embarrass or the “Cold Spot of the Nation” and we are making sure to take advantage of it. We have planted our usual garden and added a new section with potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, pumpkins, onions, green beans, herbs. If we don’t keep an eye on it every couple of days, it seems as if we have planted that wonderful (?) vegetation called the weed. We are looking forward to a great harvest and adding many items to the breakfast menu. We are spending a lot of time on the yard this summer and are trying to do quite a bit of landscaping. Kathy’s daughter Gina and friends Gretchen and Tressa came up to help plant our multitude of beautiful flowers. It’s amazing how they brighten up the yard!
