2011



GOLLY!

I really didn't do much posting last season. Let's put it down to general farmer overload and move onward. In 2011 I will try to use this blog to communicate more often, especially about what to expect in your share each week and what actually was picked. (These categories overlap but are not always the same. Typically, the actual share contains a few surprises.)

I have to admit that the 2010 season was a bit tough. Mostly it was the lack of rain that then became the entire lack of water. Six weeks without water coming into the house except via a garden hose from my neighbors (thank you, thank you, thank you!) was just a long time to not have something so essential to life, let alone needed for the garden. I am so grateful the water came back. Wonderful.

Okay, so this post is sort of looking forward by first looking backward. Next post: Information about the 2011 shares.

Here are some pictures of some of the shares and bouquets from 2010. Isn't it amazing how beautiful and plentiful the earth is, even when it doesn't rain for weeks on end? That bounty, and the encouragement of my friends and family, are what keeps me happy and eager to get growing.
