Wow! They sure have a lot of stuff growing.

Neal and Krista (along with son Noah and Krista’s sister, Svea) guided the tour, showing the many kinds of vegetables and fruit they have growing.

With all the variety and multiple plantings they should have a good selection coming in all season.

The rain showers on Tuesday brought much needed rain. Hopefully the rest of the growing season will bring enough warm weather and timely rains.

Here’s a picture from a week ago showing one of my veggie patches with the sprinklers going:
