The first delivery/pick-up

It's almost dark and Adam is outside planting cucumbers. We planted tomatoes earlier and yesterday I got the last two apple trees (an Aunt Rachel and Bevens' Favorite) in the ground, plus a number of raspberries and blackberries. 
Adam and I are excited about the first pick-up/delivery tomorrow -- what will be a small but rewarding first harvest of lettuces and radishes. The first few weeks will be limited amounts but soon a more diverse harvest of rutabagas, sugar snap and snow peas, arugala and mesclun, chards and kales, more radishes and lettuces will fill the bag! There are plenty of more flower seeds to sow, too,  and we still have tons of veggie seeds and seedlings poke into the ground.
Work on "the farm" is such a delight after some long, hard days of other work and these breezy evenings are a joy.

  1. My first share of lettuces and radishes is very exciting! I'm really looking forward to a summer of veggie treats. The garden is looking swell - at full bloom it's going to be a site to behold.
