Last week completed our 2010 Spring CSA program, so we now have a little extra time to savor some of the summertime treats such as this homemade peach ice cream w/mint, courtesy of our friend Lesia.
I was able to attend my 35 yr. High School reunion over in Savannah Ga last week. While there I was able to get a taste of some good BBQ, "Georgia Style" as well. Maybe one day we'll have a similar sign here at our farm. What do ya' think?
Back to the farm, we usually peak in tomato production around the July 4th weekend. The cloudy days have prolonged this season, but our plants are growing tired.
We're still picking every other day, but our yields are coming way down.
The irrigation tape where the cantaloupe, cucumbers, squash and zucchini were planted are now being removed, with the plastic mulch being pulled up beginning next week.
Ever wonder what makes those holes in your tomatoes? Well here is the main culprit! A little green worm. No tequila for this guy.
Big wind gusts this past weekend, tore the plastic off one of our small hoop houses that we use for storage. Just another thing to repair.
Kids from the City of Conroe Day Camp came for a visit earlier this month.
Here we are discussing how we irrigate plants using our pond for water storage.

(Life is such a blur sometimes, as evident with this photo. LOL)
Ah' the rigors of entertaining and feeding hungry kids. "Everyone ready for lunch from the grill?"
No the lens is not dirty; this shot was taken through the front screen door. Who would have thought? ;-)

Moments such as these reminds us "why we do what we do!"
