I’m trying something new this year – an update each week about what’s going on around our farm and garden. I’m aiming for just a quick rundown of the week’s happenings. Hopefully the coming weeks are not as eventful as this last week has been. It’s been a rough start to 2016 – which means it can only get better.
How Our Garden Grows – June 2015
It has been an odd June. Super hot. We don’t typically get 90º temperatures until July. I don’t know this for sure, but I’m guessing this has been one of the hottest June’s in recent history. The garden is loving it & growing like crazy.
How Our Garden Grows – May 2015
Going on a 2 week vacation in spring pushed back a bit of our gardening. We got a later start & we didn’t start as many things from seed as we typically do. So, we have a little less planted than most years, but I’m sure we will have plenty to harvest.
How Our Garden Grows – August 2014
The garden has gone crazy, so we spent much of August picking & preserving our garden bounty.
Mint Simple Syrup Recipe
Mint simple syrup is an easy way to enjoy all that mint growing like crazy over the summer. We have an obnoxious amount of mint. They aren’t kidding when people tell you to keep it in pots.
