Mid-August was hot, summery, and busy in the garden. Thanks Katrin for the much-appreciated help.

In the Elms
Thanks to visiting Swedish arborist and world-champion tree-climber Veronika Ericsson for giving the 100 year old elm trees around the old homestead some much needed attention. Quite fitting, as the trees were originally planted by the Swedish settlers who farmsteaded here. Photos by Veronika and Katrin.
Garden 2012
After another cool, wet start to the growing season, the garden is finally coming into it's own. First beans for the market this week.
Hay’s in
Thanks to Amy and thanks to John - for showing up just in time (as usual) to help get the rest of the hay in.
Early Greens
The high tunnel is planted out with spinach, arugula, mizuna, pac choi, mustard greens, endive, lettuces and radish; mostly for the Groundbreakers CSA and the early farmers' markets. On to tomatoes and peppers...
