Pulled our first row of garlic yesterday just before we got hit with flooding rain today. Its now staged in the barn to braid and hang. I felt like we pulled it a little early but a heavy storm was rolling in so we went for it. Bulb development was good and bulbs were very healthy so I'm happy we seem to have made the right call. We will have bundles of fresh garlic at the Boyle County Farmers' Market this weekend and hopefully some herb garlic braids.

Our final garlic scapes are braided and ready to hang in the barn. We braid them to make them easier to hang for curing. As they cure, the flowers continue to develop into bulblets and in about 6 weeks we'll harvest them to make our garlic flower finishing salt which is delicious. The flower bulblets have a delicate refined flavor we really love.

Another great second year collorette dahlias seedling that has its first bloom of this season. This one has cute rounded petals and is very uniform. The stem is strong and its growing well. She will pair well with some of our darker red decorative dahlias and scarlet red zinnias. I may take some cuttings as I am happy with its overall performance and would love some more added tubers for fall.

First pickling cucumber harvest. That means our best seller pickles will be coming soon. Jan is rocking these babies to bed with a few more bins and well harvest lots of dill and some garlic tomorrow to get our first batches going. These always sell out lightening fast so make sure you grab them fast once we get them stocked. We'll post once they are ready.

Loving this second year seedling. We have some really beautiful collorettes from this past year that produced great tubers and strong plants and are just starting to bloom this season. There are three so far this year that I'm so happy with and a few that are just so-so and will be relocated to the tea garden for pops of color but not for main production or tuber saving. It's still very early for us but so far its off to a great start.

I have a love hate relationship with thistle on our farm. I hate it popping up in my farm plot and its hostile stickers. But I love it for harvesting to make an amazing bitters that I think rivals artichoke bitters, but even more than that, I love it becuase the finches on the farm use it as their main spring food source. Then in summer and fall I plant extra sunflowers and they shift to those as their main food source when I let them go to seed. We have a ton of yellow American Goldfinches and even a bright turquise Indigo Buntings.

Look at how happy Jan is to show off his rainbow carrots. After an extremely dry spring we finally got some rain and these guys took off. Jan will have them along with our beautiful beet bundles, a fresh restock of red norland potatoes, red and green cabbage, lettuce mix, snow peas, spring onions, summer squash, garlic scapes and our pasture raised eggs at the Boyle County Farmers' Market this weekend. And we are excited to announce we are now offer a limited release of our pasture raised USDA whole Sasso chickens. They have a next level flavor and texture. Pick one up before they sell out as they are going fast.

New fav on the farm. Just look at this girl showing of her ruffles. I love perennial rudbeckia as a filler for bright fun bouquets and we have loads of them this time of your. I also grow some annual varieties like Sahara. But this variety is my new favorite. Technically they say this variety "Goldilocks" is a short lived perennial so we will hopefully have her around year after year. I usually pop a few heads when they go to seed and just push them into the soil and mine comes back even bigger each year. I then seed save in case I want more of them or want them in a different location. My only thing I dont like about rudbeckia is that she's a jumper. I end up with her back in the same row, and often also in a few rows down the way, in some walking paths, in the field and sometimes even in the driveway. But I love how resilient she is, her vibrant color and contrasting pop with the dark brown centers.
