Full of Life

Hi folks! I have a few pictures from the farm this week and I thought I'd go ahead and share them with you. Spring is in full force and the farm is a microcosm of all of the rejuvenation and new life that comes with the season. Enjoy!

It's hard to tell here, but these are baby birds in the weeping cherry. Their momma or daddy did not like me peeking through to photograph them, so I didn't get any good shots. They sure did open their little yellow mouths for some food though.

Snow pea flowers are beauty-FULL! And the peas taste amazing too (we have some from our first round of planting already)!

This is Beth's sour cherry tree. Ben and I are hoping we get to try a slice of her infamous sour cherry pie. 

The peaches are already getting pretty big!

Potatoes!

The first round of zucchini, squash and cucumbers (we planted 400 of each!)

I have no idea of what this flower on the vine is called, but it's gorgeous! It's on our front porch with kiwi and grape vines. 

These are in the ground now.

These too. I'm so excited about tomatillos!

Here's a shot of one of the sections. Most of what you can see is peas and oats (and the yellow stuff, well, that's wild radish - we don't care for it much but the bees and the chickens sure do!).

Can you believe there are already blueberries on the bushes?!

Poor Ben planted all of these tomatoes without me - since I'm still spending most of my time studying for prelims. I'll be out there picking them with him all summer though!!! 

Well, I guess that's it for now. Have a very Happy Mother's Day!
