Rob with a haul of fresh delicious organically grown garlic |
While I've kept myself busy commuting and working computers, Rob and Megan have worked their land - Sweet Root Farm and Apiary (i.e. real work). We have made visits through the spring pretending to help them but in reality all accomplished has been to provide moral support and to snack on anything tasty in season. This weekend we joined for brunch and to help with the shallot harvest. I mostly helped by helping drinking bloody Mary's and taking photos of the action - leaving the back bending to the rest of the pack... In the end we got the job done rewarded by the tastiest great looking little gems I have ever laid my hands on.
Warming up for harvest |
Finding the little "scallops" in a sea of green turned out to be quite the challenge |
After harvest comes cleaning |
Many hands does the trick |
The fruits of our labour seconds before collapse |
Vampire safe room |
Studies of Newtons Law - what goes up must come down |
Feeding next generation of veggies |
Busy buzzers working hard for their sweet reward |
Sedating the little stingers to steel their honey |
Local kid helping Rob out with the wild caught bee hives |
That fence still has some work left, but its coming along! Rob filling the gaps with freebie baltimore backyard harvested bamboo |
Megan checking one of the 200 blueberry bushes |
Not all work is made by hand,, |
..Though a lot of it is! |
Done for the day |
