"The marvelous richness of human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome. The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse." - Helen Keller
And it is so true in farming, as well.
One difficulty that became a blessing: In the spring, the deer were sneaking into the farm at night. Among the crops that they delighted in were the godetia - in one night, they mowed all the developing blooms. Such travesty!! We thought the plants wouldn't recover. But lo and behold, with much patience, they did eventually bloom. Because of the deer's munching, the godetia's blooms were delayed late enough in the season so that they could play a greater role in our cut flower CSA. How helpful! We hope you're enjoying the flowers. =)
