Today marks the longest day of the year and I still feel like I could not get enough done before daylight waned. We have been in a real hot spell over the last 10 days and rain is nowhere to be seen. The 90 degree days make it hard to work with any speed and we find ourselves drained before days end.
Karl and I have put the rain cistern to good use and have watered our crops and berries with over 500 gallons of collected rainwater so far this year. While gravity watering is slower, it allows me time to weed while giving the plants a good soak. So far our biggest nemesis is a rash of poison ivy scattered around the farm- we are debating methods to get rid of it and would welcome any suggestions!
However you have chosen to celebrate the longest day of the year we hope it was a good one!
