June 18th, 2011

Here's what we've been up to:








Ooh la la, look at all this swiss chard...








Our large back field is rapidly filling with crops. From left to right: beets, carrots, eggplant, peppers, okra and tomatoes.













Huge Onions! Red Tropea, Big Daddy, and Candy Onions plus Lancelot Leeks.




















Raised beds are the newest addition to the LFP garden, planted with flowers and herbs including: Zinnias, Curry, Echinacea, Roman Chamomile, Valerian, Stevia, Rosemary and Tarragon.





















Our Pac Choi suffered with the heat blasts in the last couple of weeks, but has still provided a solid harvest.











In the distance you see bunching onions, swiss chard, and tomatoes. The pretty purple is Mammoth Red Rock Cabbage, and next to that Mrs. Burns Lemon Basil and classic Genovese Basil.




"Basil Enliveneth the Soul."

- Unknown
























Freshly hilled potatoes: Yukon Gold, Mountain Rose, Purple Peruvian, German Butterball, and Russian Banana Fingerling.

  1. The fields are looking beautiful (especially the onions--my favorite!). Excited to see the raised beds, too--what a fun addition. Looking forward to seeing pics of the tomatoes when they come in. Stay cool!
