So Long, Farewell

Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye...

After just over a year of farming and blogging, I'm hanging up my hat. Turns out that a small family of cocker spaniel-sized woodchucks got the best of my farm, and me. Thanks to all of you--friends, family members, and a surprising number of strangers--for reading about all my (mis)adventures along the way, and for offering up advice, encouragement, and good-natured heckling on a regular basis.

Instead of ending with a photo of the carnage, death, and destruction on the Farm (the family came back for seconds, and thirds, etc., until all that's left are stems), I'll end with what may be the last harvest--a very tiny portion of the strawberries, protected from the woodchuck feast by some especially prickly wire fencing, and picked fresh this morning.

Speechless






So much for the farm. And probably the blog.

WOOHOO!

Hey It's Wednesday

How 'bout a MiniChuck's Eye View of the Farm that you haven't heard anything about in weeks? Sorry to be such an irresponsible blogger...


I'm currently wondering just what the chances are of the broccoli or cauliflower actually growing heads as opposed to awesome leaves... Time will tell. In the meantime, it's fresh salad all around!

Wando Peas!

Look how cool the first pea flowers look!

Mood of the farm: The cool weather crops are pleased as punch. Warm weather crops are just trudging along.
