July 7 Newsletter

Hello!

I’m so proud of the fields here At The Farm. With no rain, I can’t believe them. Did have some vegetables not up yet but with some rain I know they’ll grow. Had some things like Peas that may not make it. The Rhubarb is really done. Every year is different.

The Pop Corn is over knee high by the 4th of July. All corn is supposed to be knee high by the 4th.

The hay is down around the Pickle Cucumber and Tomatoes. I do not use straw as it is sprayed. I have White Butter fly dust and Potato Bug Spray – Organic.

The rentable China idea has some interest. It’s so fun to find something new to do. This week Harvey Mackay’s article he said, “Do nothing, get nothing.” How true is that? I just love his advice. I’ll send that to you this week. We can never learn enough. If you need China, Silver, Table Cloth, Coffee Servers, Tea Cups, I rent this. It’s fun to re-invent. You rent the China etc. for 3 days.

I’ll have Harvey Mackay’s article from the Star Tribune newspaper sent to you. Love the headline, “Do Nothing, Get Nothing”.

I’ll write again,

Donna
