Greetings!
The best view is from the top of the tractor at Windcrest Farm 
Just like our family of frogs in the greenhouse, we have been trying to stay cool and have appreciated the for rain showers we have received over the few last weeks. The frog pictured here loves the mint section of the greenhouse and we have a resident flower frog as well as a parsley fan. Our frog family is one sign that tells us we have made our local garden and greenhouse healthy and balanced!
 
We have a mixture of produce and plants at Market tomorrow. Hope to see you there!
 
Best Regards,
Mary
Products We Use - Organic Fire Ant Control

Three seasons ago we used landscaping fabric to help suppress the weeds around our tomato and pepper plants. It did a fairly good job at keeping the weeds down but did a GREAT job at hiding the fire ants that had set up a city under the fabric. When we took the fabric up (as required each season by organic "rules") we searched for and found this OMRI approved solution that really worked without harm to people, plants and pets. Learn more...

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.
