The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

It ain't Christmas, my friends, not for me.

I have been thoroughly enjoying my time at Squash Blossom Farm and have recently been delighting in the bounty of the garden. It is my first time working on a farm during the spring/summer rather than fall/winter and so I can finally experience the long-term fruits of my labors!

The cherries our tree produces are incredibly picturesque, especially when compared with my weeding hand.

Lunchtime class.

Can you find the beets and carrots?

What glory! They can finally see the sun!

Beans we planted roughly 3 weeks ago, growing strong.

Some of our beautiful harvest for the pizza party we had this weekend.
(Asparagus and Nasturtiums) 

The cabbage I planted at the beginning of my internship.

Brussel sprouts I planted when I first started this internship.
The fire I started to ready the oven for the pizza-party-pizzas.

Lettuce I planted when first I arrived. 

The aforementioned tree bearing seemingly endless amounts of beautiful fruits.

It's quite a special feeling walking through the garden seeing your plants thriving; fills you with confidence and admiration.

I hope all of you are enjoying your own summer bounties on this summer solstice as well! Start preserving those bounties as the days will start to wane again!
