dirty nails








the sun is shinning just a bit richer these days and the warmth of growing is with us. the labyrinth is coming back alive in the field below the barn and as the rich peat soil dries a bit more we will be putting in potatoes for a late fall crop. margits daffys are all abound and as we continue to plant peas + salad greens + carrots + beets + leeks + herbs our nails are gettin dirty with lotsa love.
