strawberries acoming
So new hoes were picked up at the post office today. They work great. Also in the mail today was a big thick envelope of the experiences of the students of Beatty School of the arts, haven't had a chance to read more than a couple. I will excerpt some in the next posting.
3 of our wwoofers of are off to their next farming experience, 4 more have arrived in the last week.
Last we had our first on farm mini concert, a success the band: Morlove, and all of us had a great time, the house was beautifully decorated.
Ah the Strawberries, they are just around the corner. This wet couple of weeks has been excellent for limiting lygus bug activity. If the cool temperatures continue for another couple of days we won't even have to break out the bug sucker. Are bug sucker is a large hydraulically driven squirrel fan. It operates by disturbing the plants causing the lygus bugs to fly up where they are sucked then chopped by the fan into oblivion.
