Amazing tilth in this field. Thanks in LARGE part to Peter (he rocks..or de-rocks)
Previous round of eggplants. Beautiful.
What flea beetles can do when eggplants are not covered.

Our afternoon was spent finishing eggplants, laying drip and hand planting all of Field A with Winter Squash. No pics.

After work I passed out for a solid half hour in the chair at this computer. Felt good.
Then...
To work on 3 Sisters Field. I decided against woodchipping the path. Going to let it grow over with natural weeds. Will keep it trimmed and contained. Like that look much better already.
and I'm not sure what this "knee high by the fourth of July" stuff is all about. Apparently the corn didn't get the memo: It's JUNE 11th! Awesome, really.
The youngest members of the farm.
The sweetest members of the farm... Am I excited? Indeed. Woohoo! Berry season!!
The road back to the farm "proper."
A cooler day. A gorgeous night. A pillow that beckons.
