Summer has been busy and productive around the farm. The garden has produced a LOT of tomatoes, to our delight, the corn did really well and is now done for the year. We canned homemade tomato sauce and homemade stewed tomatoes. Beet pickling next. Since we have run the course of the summer garden I have started some more broccoli and lettuce for the fall garden. We will also put in some more spinach, cauliflower, cabbage and green beans. The green beans I planted in the summer garden never really got into production but the super-long asparagus beans I planted were not very tasty and produced small amounts per bean stalk. I won't plant them again.
The bees are doing well, I have added another brood box and a honey super. They girls are really busy during the day and are a joy to watch as they buzz around the hive.
