Puppets, Hawks and Cucumbers




The farm stand is a success and our neighbors are a delight



















A dog pole has been installed at the garden entrance with water for the beasts.  A bicycle rack is also being built as many of our customers ride the trail.





























A new garden was created by the bike trail entrance, featuring cherry tomatoes, chile peppers and summer squash


















The Santa Fe Sustainability Group, a new non-profit created by Maria and Thure Meyer, gifted us with 50 tomato plants and 100 Shishito Peppers

The boys got to use the garden as a race track without damaging any plants or irrigation lines!
