Misc

So after going to the Farmer's Market for the first time a few weeks ago and seeing how much further along the greenhouse-started seedlings were than my own, I kind of gave up and fed the majority of mine to Millie. It seemed that the effort of hauling water and caring for a garden all Summer would be better spent on more mature plants that would produce more. So all I kept were the peas and basil, which grow quickly enough to be worth my while, and my seed potatoes, which had begun to form their own ecosystem in the cupboard. Went to Calypso Farm today to pick up some tomato seedlings, and that'll be all I'm growing this year. I figure most of my veggies will come from my subscription to Rosie Creek Farm, which starts this week with, I was warned, nothing but salad and braising greens. Fresh salad? No complaints here!

Butterfly! There are hundreds of these fluttering about lately. I don't know what they are called, but they are very beautiful!


Bunn's final resting place. He loved to eat roses, so it's perfect!


Holly gave birth to the last of Calypso Farm's behbeh lambos for the season. That's three sets of twins, all rams! They say that they aren't going to wether them, though, and keep all six as fully functional rams. I don't recall the details why... Maybe they will make good studs? Anyway, they sure are cute!


Isn't he a-freakin'-dorable?
