Summer is coming!! We have been very busy planting and trying to keep up with the seemingly infinite weeds plaguing the farm. In classic Colorado fashion, the weather has been all over the place with extreme winds, rainstorms, and dry spells. Luckily, the plants are survivors and won’t let a little weather get them down!
