Some May Crop Pictures (but we don't)

The nice thing about a blog is the relative ease with which we can give everyone some idea of how things are going on the farm.

Below is a picture from May 20:

The garlic in this picture has grown a good bit in just a couple of weeks. And, of course, the weeds have as well. The good news here, however, is that the garlic survived the winter well and are growing on schedule for the season. We should be able to begin harvesting scapes in mid to late June. And, the garlic harvest typically begins around July 21. And, thanks to our most excellent work crew - we were able to clean four of the six 70 foot rows of weeds today!)
