Around the Farm in Pictures

June 11, 2018 By Megan Allen

Around the farm this week in pictures:

Green cabbage harvest: the green cabbage benefitted from the cooler, wetter April we had.  May was quite hot, and it is beginning to dry out, so we harvested the cabbages that were left in the field and have stored them in our walk-in cooler.

Our experimental winter squash field: the vines are beginning to extend themselves.  In a few weeks, it will all be green!

Baby sweet potato vines beginning to “green-up” and grow out.

Moon and Stars Yellow watermelon (a regional heirloom) plants

Several fields after this morning’s rain: several seed crops to the left behind the herb garden, one of our main summer acres in middle, and a recently cover cropped field to the right (soybeans and buckwheat).

“The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is
our only hope.”
