We've been fighting the aphids and the flea beetles and the caterpillars, but so far we're winning. We've started our fall transplants in the greenhouse, and are getting ready to till the fall plots in the garden and finish up the flower beds around the cabin. We appreciate our CSA folks who understand where we're at, and we look forward to hitting the markets by month's end.
We've been finding arrow heads and scrapers in the dirt as we've dug and furrowed our rows, which is an amazing thing. To hold an artifact from the Cherokee who roamed these mountains so long ago...the mind reels with the history, the tragedy, all of it contained in a small, carefully crafted piece of stone buried for all these years until we dug it up...
On the art front, we've got our paintings and photos coming along and we'll post some pix soon.
Enjoy these new photos of the crops as they grow...
