...Getting ready for the Slow Food Tour tomorrow....pulling up winter veggies from the herb beds...washing and packing for people to have some goodness to bring home. In the back, CSA members constructing the first cucumber fence - because, as we know, veggies don't wait - and the cucumbers are in the greenhouse in the background...anxious to be put into the ground.
You know, it is amazing what 12 people can do in a couple of hours! And we always are pleased to meet this year's new members - today, a couple of awesome families....a man and his daughters and grandsons - what a hard working crew! and Nhu and son and daughters - older sister watches younger sister and they are so sweet!
Today, Dinner in the Field after the Slow Food Tour. My goodness but we are very tired(!) The day was cool but there was sun...met lots of really nice folks many of whom want to be CSA members but, alas, we only have a couple of spots left...closed the gate at 1:00 p.m....then there was a lot of wind. Our tent went crawling and spiraling and punched holes in one of the greenhouses. no! but at least the tent wasn't very damaged. Then we went to Oakland Plantation for the dinner...good food - but cold cold night! Home and warm now.
