There is nothing nicer than waking up on a Sunday morning and hearing rain! We got 1/4 inch which made most of the vegetables smile again.
When dealing with a drought you always have a few happy dances when certain crops come to fruition! This weekend I took a look under the floating row covers to discover that the broccoli has turned up for the party a few weeks early!
This year again we will be adding brocco leaves as everyone did seem to enjoy them after a little persuading last year!

This week we will be introducing ground cherries to the boxes. We have never grown these before but one of our CSA members got chatting to me last season and as most know it does not take much to persuade me to try growing something new!

Two of our CSA members recently reminded us of the joys of the Crowe River. We decided over the last few weeks to get up nice and early and head up to the river. We got to dip our toes at 7.30am in the morning and also got to enjoy watching Louie learn to swim.
Now that Louie has been swimming twice over the last few weeks, we now find him waiting in the back of our truck ready to head out again!This weeks basket:
