Farm Update

Here's what's happening down on the farm. Wow, what a soggy week! Sloshing around this week I noticed a couple of things. 1..Things were really starting to take off in the fields. Potatoes, tomatoes, beans, greens etc. And 2.. Our honey bees were missing pollinating the squash flowers all together. I felt that since I single handedly pollinated the squash myself last year, the bees felt that they may not be up to the pollinating standards that I achieved. As I was pontificating on the subject, Vicky said that she would help pollinate if she didn't have to listen to any more "of this!". Well, she ended up doing all the pollination and must have done a great job because we may have some yellow squash and zucchini for the weekend. She asked why I hadn't helped with the pollination this year and I told her years ago I could pollinate 15, 20 or 30 plants at a time, now after one or two I feel like I need a nap.
