Whew! What a busy, busy time! Just finished the Garden Fair in Muncie this weekend, and now must get lots done before I leave for the Herb Society of America's conference in Atlanta! We've been planting and weeding a lot, but there's always more to do. A brief shower this evening washed off the dust from all the area farmers, so the gardens look fresh and crisp again. No big storms, so that was good. The gardens are really changing fast now that we are getting warmer weather. I need to get more mulch as soon as I get back.
Today, in the lavender field, I can see the first "purple haze" beginning on the row of Betty's Blue. We'll soon be picking fragrant bunches. The cherries are beginning to turn, and the strawberries will need picking before I leave. As I said, busy, busy!
