How this summer as flown by! It's my birthday this coming weekend; I'll be working as a trial secretary for a herding trial so it'll be a useful weekend if nothing else - in the meanwhile, farm life continues. The tomatoes are ripening well; the slugs being kept at bay by massive applications of coffee grounds, the beans are starting to dry, the winter squash are still too green to pick but we're watching them. Most fun of all this year has been the success of our sweet potatoes! With some trepidation, I planted 4 slips back in May - to my amazement, they have produced real live sweet potato tubers! Supper tonight: baked ham, sweet potatoes and cornbread :)
