It is difficult sometimes this time of year to stop, take a breath and enjoy the beautiful things around us that we have toiled to nurture along. This evening I found myself with two options.. pull weeds (always an option) or tour the gardens and try to capture some of the amazing things going on at Big Lick Farm! Of course I chose to enjoy and document the goings on at the farm and check the progress of all the crops. Above you can see our healthy onion patch that the Phoenix students freed from the quack grass. There is also a picture of our bok choy that was looking so promising for the first CSA share but in the last few days bolted and went to flower. Some of it was tilled under to add nutrients to the soil and the others carried down to the pigs~ they truly are omnivores! While touring around I hunted for the first snow pea I could find and savored the delicate flavor of that first pea as though it was the finest truffle! Our broccoli is coming along and will hopefully fill the gap in the CSA share that the bok choy left.
Only 11 more days to CSA time! ahhhhhhh!!! No more leisurely strolls through the garden from here on out! We are thankful that we will get at least one more work day with the Phoenix School kids on June 1st so hopefully we will be caught up for that first week of CSA! Hooray!! beautifully

Wow Suzie! The garden looks absolutely beautiful! I wish I lived in your neighborhood just so I could get one of Suzie's fat CSA boxes. So awesome that the kids are getting involved. You and Asinete rock!
