When I start clearing out a bed, it doesn’t take long for volunteers to come along behind me to clear out slugs and other undesirables. This is one of last year’s hugel beds, to which I’ll add a bit of compost before planting some garlic. I’ll mulch with a mix of hay and goat droppings from the goat pen and then sit back and wait for spring. Ah, garlic scapes…

Gotta’ love the summer…

20120815-180106.jpgWhat’s not to love about summer? The abundance of the harvest is making its way from the field and garden to The Alderley Grange… And, from there, to local dinner tables. The whole process from seed to crop to chow time is still a bit miraculous to me. Come share the joy and visit the farm stand Wed and Fri 3-7 or Saturday mornings 8:30-noon.
