I don’t want to jinx anything, but we are having the perfect summer. We are getting another week of low to mid 90’s. Thanks, Mother Nature!! That is not to say that everything is perfect in the vegetable garden. Even though we haven’t had extreme heat much this...

WOW! Are we having a great summer or what? Usually, everything is brown by now but we are getting these little rain patches that are keeping the grass nice and green. And the occasional cool day is a treat. So there are plenty of tomatoes available at the Saturday...

Oh my goodness! I can’t believe it is the 4th of July! This year is flying by way too fast. Maybe we should stop and smell the roses…but it seems everyone is sobusy! Speaking of roses, we have several Knock Out roses around the restaurant and they are huge! I...

Well last Saturday, June 20th, was the Summer Solstice, which marks the “official” first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. This occurs when the North Pole is at its maximum tilt toward the sun (about 23.5 degrees) in the Earth’s orbit around...
