Plants (other than weeds) are finally starting to sprout in the garden, blueberries are indeed ripening and salads ingredients have originated in the back field for a few weeks running now. There are also two ripe artichokes that keep escaping harvest. Fancy iced tea, morning dew drops adorning the baby kale and home-smoked trout are some other obvious highlights.
Some things you should know about coming up in August:
Wheat Fleet! A river float from Eugene to Corvallis in celebration of local grain growers is scheduled for August 19th-21st
The Willamette Country Music Festival is rolling into neighboring Brownsville August 20, 21, 22
Eugene Celebration Film Festival August 27-29
We’re making a labyrinth in the lower field, and building a tiny straw-bale guest house in the back field…. We might even adopt two friendly sheep to mow the grass. More updates to come…
