Where did May go?

Believe it or not May was quite a busy month on the farm and nothing was neglected except my blog! We spent much of the time watering, staking and installing a brand new drip system to take care of our edibles while we went on vacation. Hoping it will also save some water by dripping the plants efficiently this summer since we are again in a drought. I also claimed some new dirt along the side of the fence that now houses 3 tomato plants, 2 basil plants and some sunflowers in between. Dante is always helping on the farm and so proud to do a walk thru for visitors, he now has converted our old office in to a playroom for himself. The room has a very old window that actually opens up on to the farm...his new spot to look and see whats growing.

Everything is blooming mostly green and yellow flowers, there are blossoms on the "eight ball" zucchini, green tomatoes on most of the tomato plants, pumpkin and cantaloupe flowers, yellow tomatillo flowers, corn, lots of new basil seedlings and lots of lettuce. The strawberries are just starting to fruit and we now have a handful of Purple Peruvian Peppers...I hope to try those in a salsa soon. We are looking forward to everything being edible soon and blogging again soon ;-)
