hat) dancing.

Garden Personalities

Kelley - our all-season intern. She's also
a rock climber/ boulderer so she comes
with all the muscles needed for digging
beds. She's also a yoga instructor who may
teach some of what she knows.























Mallika. She was with us for ten days last
year and returned for the summer in 2010.
She's always so smiley and fun and cheerful
and she's going to teach us all to hula hoop
(again).























Yesterday and today were chicken-killing
day where Walker works and since Walker's
the farm manager, Franklin gets first
pick of the chicken hearts. He skewers,
marinates and grills them. He, Walker and
Jake LOVE them. The rest of us politely
decline.























Here, Franklin does some of his magic. He's spent days upon
days working on The Lord's Acre's water system. Here he's
bringing drip irrigation to our field crops.

What's Up at the Garden

We've been harvesting potatoes for weeks. They look grand
in the purple baskets and taste like nothing you can get in
a store! These are Red Pontiacs.
















Here, Steve Norris, board member, harvests
carrots.























Blue skies. Hot days. No rain.
















Last week, I looked for nail polish "the color of dirt". I came
pretty close, dont' ya think?
