Three

9:07 am. 4 8oz jars of strawberry jam made. Sprinkler is on the plants; two roses cut and in a bud vase. Breakfast is finished and so is this poster. It’s been a great morning after a rough start for Snowden. She often wakes in a good mood only to collapse into tears within 15 mins. I think the key is to get food into her immediately and hopefully this fun project, that she collaborated on, will provide happy attitude inspriation. My favorite ideas of Snowden’s: daddy comes home, play frisbee, put a pony tail in (which is what the tears were over this am.)

It was wonderful to be back at the farm this week, the first week of work share for the summer. There is something about hopping on the back of a tractor flat bed at 8am on the way out to the field that feels just right. I like the morning harvest session for two main reasons: the smell of the earth and the plants seems heightened to me in the early morning dew and there is great satisfaction in hauling in hundreds of pounds of beautiful organic produce.

This weeks selction: 1 bunch turnips; 1 bunch radish; 1 cauliflower; 3 kolrabi; 2 heads lettuce; 1 handful oregano; 1 pint snap peas; 3 pints strawberries; 1 lb. braising mix; 3/4 lb. salad mix; 3/4 lb. spinach.
