We continue to work hard around the farm, Hoping it will rain soon. Although we have a very good irrigation system in place, we grow so many different plants it is hard to keep up with the watering. It is always helpful to get a nice soaking rain,so let's all hope we get that soon. We are excited to include green beans in the share this week. We are also growing wax beans and purple beans that we hope to include in the coming weeks. We hope you all enjoy the veggies this week!
