Today marks the last few weeks of the harvest. Just six weeks left. Whew!
This season has been moving extremely fast. We started off in June watering like it was August. This has left us with the feeling of never catching up. There were times you would walk around the farm and you could hear all the plants asking for water, they were extremely thirsty.
It is September and most of our crops are almost done, due to the fast ripening of the season. We are hoping to still have produce towards the end of the season. If things become slim, I will be giving herbal remedies to get you through your cold and flu season.
We have had a lot of abundance this year, the salad greens were slim due to the heat and they bolted.
I am very thankful for this season's beautiful abundance.
