Apologies for our lengthy absence, but life around the farm gets very busy in the summer. Unfortunately, summer peak in the flower gardens passed us by un-photographed, but year 4 of the garden was lovely. We're in the late summer lull at the moment, waiting for the fall burst of color from the fall foliage, dahlias, rudbeckia, sedum and asters, and second bloom on the catmint, roses and a few others. The vegetable garden/potager is in full swing and brilliantly colored from the sunflowers, cosmos, zinnia, calendula and borage. Enjoy some photos taken this morning.
