As usual it has been busy around the farm. We have been picking cucumbers and making pickles about every other day. Today we canned some dill relish, a family favorite.
We picked garlic about two weeks ago. That will now be available at our Farmer's Market. I have also been making some garlic braids to sell.

The guys have been remodeling the barn. They made the main pen bigger and put a loft above all the animal stalls for more hay storage. It feels much more roomy in there and looks neater too. I am sure the animals are happier. ;)

Once the guys got the loft done, they spent a couple days getting loads of hay and stacking them in the barn.

We picked our first tomatoes yesterday...cherry tomatoes. They lasted about 2 minuets. We lost half of our larger variety of tomatoes to drowning and the rest are not looking so hot either. It's been too soggy and the leaves are getting spotty. :( It has been a tough year for gardening...lots of storms with strong winds and tons of rain, plus a spell of extremely hot weather. But has finally cooled off a bit. We even enjoyed a campfire last night.
