The Summer is Fleeting
The Harvest is Great
Don’t be Sleeping
Seasons do not Wait
Hello!
It’s hard to keep up with the seasons. Summer is just flying by. County Fairs are here and I am an Antique dude at the Carver County Fair, done this for years.
The produce and flowers are beautiful. It took a while to get here but it was worth the wait.
Fun to have all the gardeners.
I have hosted two Garden Tours this past week. I had a Garden Club from Robinsdale, 56 on Saturday, it started to rain so we could only tour my flowers, not the vegetables. Then lunch in my loft.
On Thursday I had a Garden Tour for 18, they were here from St. Paul, Woodbury, Hudson WI, Eden Prairie, Waconia, Norwood Young America and Chaska. We were at 3 Gardens and mine. Had a bus problem. It broke down before it got here. That makes the brains work. We called Koch Bus Company in Waconia, they are the school bus company. They came in 10 minutes to get us at The Farm and we were on our way. It was a grand tour. A fabulous Town Garden, Brenda my grower, Becky Larson on Lake Waconia and Sovereign Estates, then lunch in my loft.
