A Sea of Green

6/9/2021

It's been a busy and both short and long week for me as I got a rare late spring vacation for a few days to camp in the woods and do some trail work with Wild Montana and a hike with Friends of Scotchmans Peak Wilderness as well as getting more lettuce planted, the microgreens managed, and all the usual chores done. 

But I couldn't have done it without my parents hunkering down and keeping everyone, plant & hen & Hella, fed, watered, frost-free, and happy!
As well as finishing out the week of markets for me!
They were very happy for me to return so they didn't have a pre-dawn wakeup call.

This week I will have all the microgreens in renewed abundance as well the first batch of salad mix, head lettuces, some greens, some radishes, and some rhubarb! I won't be able to get it all available on the website for preordering yet but it will be at the markets.

And if we're lucky, I'll have some bouquets back with the first Lupines and Columbines, but no promises! 🤞

The Guineas really get around! Which is a good thing as they gobble up any bug they find.

Buttercrunch lettuce ready for some crispy fresh salads or adding that sweet crunch to your flame-grilled burger

One of the four special lettuces that make up the Salad Mix, for those easy-peasy, just-add-dressing, kinda meals!
Picture
If you're quick enough at the markets to grab some of the few radish bunches I'll have, they make a great addition to those salad greens
Picture
The Lupines are just getting started!
Picture
As is the Columbine. This variety called Barlow, which I also have available as seeds, blooms in nearly the same pink, purple, and indigo hues as the Lupine!
Picture
The grass is almost as tall as the hens which means it's almost like Jurassic World over here with the bugs and grubs trying to flee from their talons and 'teeth'
​It was a great time to take a mini vacay to see some of the beautiful mountains that are so near yet so hard to tear me away from the farm to see, and they did not disappoint!

Being away in the woods for a few days also meant being away from Hella kitty. And she let me know I was very welcome back with lots of meows and cuddles but also that I shan't leave again with a few ankle bites and a bit of blood drawn. That's part of why I always keep lots of band aids at hand as well as some handy soothing Dragon's Balm!
