Things that are not working this week: riding lawn mower, push lawn mower, weed-eater.  Things that are working this week: tractor, Randy’s wheelchair, pick-up truck.  It feels like everything is broken, but as the above inventory indicates – we are about 50% operational.  The cool room was freezing up at the beginning of the week, but appears to be working now. 

The calendar may say it is still spring, but it sure feels like summer at Tubby Creek Farm.  Summer crops are replacing spring ones, with summer squash starting this week and cucumbers likely next week.  The lettuce is done until fall, as are the snow and snap peas, broccoli, and other spring crops.  The farm looks more like summer, too.  The bright greens of spring are gone and the fields are golden with mature grasses.
