Fun on at the Gathering Farm Daily Report.
Thursdays shenanigans
One inch of overnight rain brought the 20-acre variety of crops alive. We have sprouts everywhere. (Maybe the corn will be knee high by the 4th of July.) However, the ground was slippery and I seized the moment to see the mud up close and personal 😜 after wallowing 🐖 in the mud a bit, Robin helped me up. No pictures for proof.
on the agenda. Plant the next round of cut flower garden seeds then stopping by Urgent Care for X-rays on my finger, oh the joys of farm life. I’ll get back to you on that fun outing.
Life is beautiful here at The Gathering Farm
