Quiet Time Farm

I stopped by and grabbed more ginger from Nieto Family Farm yesterday. I have two grow bags established from the starts I’d already gotten, and with this I should have an adequate supply to last awhile. My hope is to keep a dedicated ginger bed going. We’ll see how that goes. 🤪

Fireflies are really enjoying the sunchokes bed. I’d never noticed them on these before, but love that they are!

We’ve seen a lot more fireflies this year than we normally do. I’m not sure what has caused there to be fewer the last few years in our field or what conditions have changed this year to contribute to their being more. I wish I did so we could replicate it!

The rain from the tropical depression made the run icky enough to motivate me to move the Eglu today. This really is a handy coop. I could never afford a NEW Eglu Omlet, but this secondhand one has been such a lifesaver so many times!

But if you’re looking for a simple and easy to clean set up and can/don’t mind spending on it, check out Eglu coops.

There’s a new volunteer pumpkin in one of my raised beds. My husband is going to love me letting them run everywhere. 🤪

This comfrey had me worried, but it’s finally putting out some new growth. I planted it just as the heat got out of control so it’s no wonder it struggled!

This has been a weird year. I’m hearing from people who’ve already thrown in the towel on their gardens after replanting due to late freezes and then losing those plants to the scorching heat. I get it! There will always be challenges, weather conditions being a big one, but there’s always something that it’s not too late to plant. We’re all in this together!
