A bit of what we've got going on this wet summer. The rain softened the branches and we had some tree damage to our pear and plum trees Rain rain go away. Chelsea wants to come out and play :( The poor pigs had their pen flood almost everyday (sometimes twice a day) And of course all the wet made things  - like these peaches - rot  We had a good crop of gooseberries though The swiss chard hasn't done too bad - which is good since it is a family favorite The cool spring made the strawberries late. But we enjoyed them just as much We managed to get a good crop of cherries picked between storms          www.highlandorchrdsfarmmarket.com         highlandcsa@gmail.com
