is here in Virginia. All signs are pointing that way. Squash is being picked everyday, we have buckets of extra cucumbers, tomatoes are just ripening, eggplant is brilliant in its purple skin, melons are getting bigger, and it seems like all we do here at Waterpenny is pick vegetables. Seasons slowly change..gradually we adjust to the differences. The sun is long and hot in the sky, and the daily checking of the forecast for rain is telling of its need here. Our "garden" is enjoying the warm weather and the occasional water it gets from irrigation. Our carrots have been great..and we ended up selling some of them at Takoma Park Farmers Market. Our sweet corn is starting to tassel, and the okra is starting to bloom its magnificent flowers. Life is good. We work hard, eat well, and enjoy the peace of the mountains. Each day is a gift that we savor. I promise to post some pictures of farm happenings soon.
peace.
