A forest of basil

Sunflowers

Our attempt at Coleman-esque planting

The hoophouse is green and vibrant

With buckwheat, cowpeas... and maybe a few weeds

Some muskmelons are nearly ripe

Watermelons too

Corn is formed

And ripe!

WWOOFers, tomatoes, and corn, OH MY!

Three WWOOFers have blown through Long Lane Farm over the past two weeks! First we were visited by Virginia's Erin and Kelly, and this week we have had the pleasure of hosting Charlie from China. They have been a huge help and lots of fun!

Our corn is looking beautiful and our tomatoes are finally starting to ripen! Not that green tomatoes aren't delicious--pickled or fried in cornmeal batter! Mullen is threatening to overtake the herb garden, transforming it into a whimsical Seussland, and the sunflowers are coming in nicely.

Beautiful corn!

Beautiful corn & beautiful hoop house!

What's that peeking out? A RED tomato!

Sunflowers!

Crazy mullein! Great for the lungs when dried and brewed in tea or even, allegedly, smoked!
