It's been about a month of mid 90's and NO RAIN. As we turned into the Fall Equinox this week, the Summer weather continued. Everyone on the farm has been miserable; hot, dry and ready for some cooler weather. This morning after 4am, Mother Earth finally touched us with precipitation followed by some cool air! Everyone seems happy outside. The llamas were dusty, the chickens couldn't scratch at the hard, dry earth for bugs, the dogs needed a bath, and the piggies were desperate for a mud puddle. The rain has subsided, but the sky tells me that there is more to come. After the land is replenished and begins to dry a little, we'll start to bush hog for the Fall, scoop poop, and till the front garden. I am planting garlic this Winter, about 10 lbs of it. I ordered three varietals and hope to grow enough to sell at the Farmers Market next Spring. I'll keep you updated.
