We have lots of ripe vegetables. Our new vegetable stand is out and veggies are selling. Squash is growing so quickly the we are in fear of being covered in our sleep! We are so very lucky to have such great soil here on the farm. Most people don't have their squash ready yet, but you can see that we have no problems. It's been very hot here the past few days which only adds to it's success. We sent some to the Food Bank today to share with those less fortunate.
Bradley has afternoon "air conditioning". This is the 30 mph winds that blow through in the afternoon this time of year. This is because there is fog in the Monterey/Salinas area and heat in the south end of the Salinas Valley. We are lucky to be in between those two.
Farming is an interesting way of life. It is light at 5:00 am so of course we are up and going too. At around 8:00 pm, it starts looking late so I begin thinking about dinner. By the time the animals are put to bed and we get around to dinner, it is close to 9:30 or 10:00. The days seem to fly by but they are so very fulfilling.
We have a bumper crop of fowl right now. We are raising wonderful Cornish cross chickens for eating, turkeys for Thanksgiving and Christmas and chicks for laying hens.
Take care!
