Fifth wettest June on Record

The timothy is like broom straw...



So I'm a better farmer than I am a blogger, which I believe is a good thing. That being said I apologize for the lack of posts in the month of June. I blame it on the soggy weather. Rain, gray skies, wood stove fires keeping kitchens warm in the morning, things that shouldn't be connected with Maine on the longest day of the year.



But with a two and a half day stretch of fairly good weather we cut the ridge of our north field. It's thin and should dry pretty quickly. Today being day two of the nice weather we had a sudden thunder storm blow up and dropped heavy rain and hail for five minutes this afternoon. Another tedding before the sun went down.






If you don't like the weather in Maine, just wait a minute, it'll change...seriously this set of pictures was taken in a two minute period.

We did have some wild west visitors during June and they had a pretty good time, click here to see...

Hoop House and Maine Sweet Potatoes!

Got our hoop house built and finished up almost completely on June 7th. Some sweet potatoes are in and more are on their way. Come by in September and we should have a whole bunch!
