Full farm, photographed 6.27.2010

There’s hope for a great harvest yet!  This photograph was taken June 27, 2010, after the end of our crazy rains and before the amazing progress spurred by a few weeks of sunny weather.  Finally, finally the heavy rains seem behind us.

Harvest 7/7/2010 - notice those gorgeous peas

Harvest from 7/7/2010 - pardon the terrible photography

So despite my grousing over terrible weather, you can readily see that food is growing and our lovely farmers clearly have a trick or two up their sleeves.  This was one of our first significant harvests, and they have continued in comparable size since then.  The full head of cauliflower was a total surprise.  Our rooting through the garden had not unearthed any cauliflower at all.  Clearly, we need to get a little more curious.  The broccoli went to our in-laws, who share the farm expense and harvest with us, but word came back that it was lovely.
