Let's start this week with a little farm tour:

 |
| East Fields |
 |
| West Fields |

| Penstemon row |
Every year is a little different, with multiple variations in bloom time--but this year is ridiculous! Some varieties are exploding, loving the cool temperatures but others are a little confused, a little behind schedule. And frankly, so are we, but hang with us because even if things are blooming out of order the plants have never looked better.
