This Sunday I awoke with the sunshining, so I headed out to the garden. We had recently harvested the fava beans which fell over due to the rain we have been getting. I had pulled all the plants out and mowed them to put back into the soil as they are nitrogen fixing plants. Next, we put some compost on the bed and tilled it into the soil. Sadly, some worm’s lives were sacrificed.
We then took a trip to Maple Rock Farm (MRF) where we were given tomatillos, and Swiss chard. The tomatillos were planted and next I will plant the swiss chard. This summer we have been experiencing very low temperatures, so I hope the tomatillos will not be affected by the lack of sunshine and warm weather. Then it was off to do wood fire pizza from 3 to 8 pm. We have been doing this venture for about 9 weeks. Annie is the head of operations with her sidekick Jay who works at MRF, and then I am the one that takes orders, does the small talk. We have found this to be a great success with local families and visitors enjoying sitting on blankets in the lawn and picnic tables to boot.
