Beware!

Found this unusual caterpillar on a hosta leaf in the pergola. Apparently, it is most likely a Flannel Moth Caterpillar (an entomologist agrees) and has traveled much further north of it's normal range. Although it looks soft enough to pet, touching it can cause very severe reactions in humans. A good reminder to ourselves, fellow gardeners and curious kiddos to be respectful of the insect world. Please share. 

A New Discovery!

Have always loved the Cobweb Sempervivum's ability to spin it's own web. 

Just discovered the blooms are pretty amazing, too!

Blooming Beauties!

More blooming beauties! Have a great weekend!

Water, Water...

It's really hot out here but there is something to be said about spending the day walking around with a garden hose in your hand...the sights are incredible!

New Fermented Goodies...

More delicious and probiotic-filled goodies for Saturday's class...Lacto-Fermenting 101.

Fermented Watermelon Salsa, Corn Relish and Watermelon Soda!

Saturday's class is filled but there are a few seats available for our next class: July 18 at 1:00. Advance registration please. Class fee is $10.00. 

P.S. 5 inches of rain on the flower farm last night and it's still coming down!

What a Cutie!

Discovered this little cutie today. Can't wait for it to grow larger so we can enjoy some fermented pickles! We also cut our first bunch of Dill Weed to dry this morning. Should be perfect timing and a delicious combination! Yum!
