Another Successful Farm Tour

Monday, May 20, 2024
Hello friends,
              More beneficial rain!  The grass is really growing now.  In the yard and especially in the pastures.  I took my window of opportunity and finished transplanting my tomatoes yesterday in a mad rush.  I get so much gardening done just before it rains.  All I have left is peppers to go out and then transplant my lettuce into a triangular planting bed.  Meanwhile, the weeds are going nuts!  The compost I applied was full of weed seeds and they are well fertilized.  Yikes!
              The farm tour was a success!  We already had quite a few people scheduled to come pick up milk, and then we had the tour people coming too.  Stephen and the boys were a big help.  Little Xavier was a big hit as he followed the tours and welcomed all the children and adults.  When it was over, and  after a little “chill” time, we went out to our pond for some fishing.  We discovered that the duck has been spending time on the dock leaving lots of little calling cards.  Actually, big calling cards.  Maybe the rain will wash it off.  We caught 2 fish, so it was a happy excursion.  After a long day, we were so tired!…
