Welcoming Spring with Cheeps, Chirps, Squash, Cucumbers and UNwelcomed Bugs

Spring has brought a lot of cheeps, chirps, quacks and meows around our Little Eden.

If the thousands of seeds that are now plants and those germinating soon could talk, wonder what they would sound like.  Hmmmm.

Aside from the biting bugs and we won't mention the fact that we have to share a great deal with the little monsters that try and at times succeed at eating our produce..I mean mint...good grief..  Of the seven varieties of mint we have, it's the chocolate mint....well let's just say we humans (for those humans that do, that is) are not the only ones that like chocolate. 

Cute tomatoes and little yellow squash are poking their heads outs and we welcome them back for another great year to be followed up by more beans, peas, cucumbers, zucchini, etc.  Yes, we are in full swing of spring.  We'll soon say goodbye to some of the cool weather crops although we'll extend our harvests of these with the use of shade cloths as far out as we can. 

We thank you for your support of our Farm and our Mission.
