Just some shots from around the farm.

Partial crew picture. From left -- Erin, Tamsin, and Stewart. Jamie is missing.

Tomatoes are starting to pop in the greenhouse!

Must be summer if we are eating dinner on the porch with friends.

Tamsin's hands

I love the nail polish.

Peter was saying this morning how he likes to see the crew over the course of the season normalize what would otherwise be extreme behavior. Things that at first seem impossibly hard or strange, by this time of the season start seeming normal. Like working outside for 8 hours in the cold rain or having hands that just never really come clean - or climbing around on top of greenhouses. Tamsin says that the nailpolish helps hide some of the dirt and helps prevent staining when trellising tomatoes.

Scenes from market

Waverly face painting Olivia. Henry and Coulter talking trucks. There was some veggie selling going on, but also a lot of kid hanging out!

Emma staffed the register at the end of market.

Wavy brought her journal home from school, and this was one of my favorite entries.

Wavy on the farm

Waverly worked with us on the farm today. She helped transplant and weed, which is about all we did today.

Packing trays of seedlings for planting

Wavy took this cool picture of one of the winter squashes we were transplanting

She took this picture of Tamsin and Stewart shoveling remay

And enjoying one of the first tomatoes of the season out of the greenhouse at the end of the day

 

Seedling Sale!!

by maryellen | Jun 2, 2009 | in

The seedling sales have been a lot of fun. Here are Dart and Lynn selecting tomato plants. Ok really they had already bought them by this point but they posed for this photo so that I could show off all the beautiful seedlings!

Last seeding sale is this Saturday, June 6, from 9-1. The kids and I will miss it. My baby brother's getting married! But Tamsin will be here. Come on down!
