Well… it’s official, the season is here and the days are full, full, full. Mulching, weeding, harvesting, cheese making, singing, sharing, laughing – the list could go on and on. You may notice that the scene in the garden is consistently changing as we continue to discover new places to plant food and flowers. Our pepper plants have their first tiny green peppers and the snap peas continue to grow on the vine.
The zinnias that I have been coaxing along seem to finally be exiting infancy and entering into new stages of adolescence. I am sure that their teenage years will be met with a new set of challenges, but I will be waiting with my hand hoe ready to meet the weeds.
What my Zinnia's will hopefully look like one day...
This week's basket!

As we look out over the garden at Camp Joy, we are blessed with a vision of growth and bounty. I hope that you can feel and taste all of that beauty in your vegetables.
