May 17, 2011: Beautiful Spring


Anise Hyssop Haiku:

I love the sunshine
During June to September 
 I turn lavender 


Braising Mix


 Cotoneaster


Fennel
The oldest recorded Mediterranean herb. Flies dislike powdered fennel, so people use it in kennels and stables.


Hoop House
Great benefits to farming: Longer growing season; protect plants from harsh weather; more varieties of plants can be grown; creates natural heating system





Daffodils
The trumpet-shape with star petals spreading outward; a symbol of friendship. 


Farm volunteer sewing the holes in the tarp.


Yummy Lettuce


Jefe smells something...


Parsnips


Peppers 


Baby Spruce Tree


Shallots


Spinach and Radishes
