Our 2024 season is done

The garden season this year was good overall.
As for the weather this year the early season rains delayed or drowned some crops, mid season supplied rain as needed and September was dry requiring the need to water.

We had three ground hogs, a raccoon and one porcupine that did a lot of damage to our apple tree and continues to eat anything uncovered. A taste for dill is the one that was a surprise.

Between the feral cats and hawks our bird population suffered and disappeared quickly once nesting season was done.

Broccoli, Swiss chard, garlic, raspberries, and spinach were a struggle to grow, we harvested some but not a truly good harvest. Tomatoes were slow to ripen, but still we had enough and nearly all ripened on the vine.
Blueberries, lettuce, peppers, carrots, beets, kale, flowers, onions, melons, beans and celery all did very well.

We will see what next year brings but the plan is to slow down and not work so hard.

While the world rapidly evolves, good farming practices and great service remain as our business foundation.
