Hello from the farm house on a rainy Monday afternoon!

The summer squash and cilantro were moved from the greenhouse to the garden this past weekend. Now we have all the squash planted! We have planted many types this year; Summer Squash, Spaghetti, Acorn, Butternut, Buttercup and Lakota squash. Spaghetti squash got its name because, after baking, the flesh falls into spaghetti like strings. You can eat it like it's spaghetti pasta. Our favorite squash is the Lakota. yum-yum!

Our pole beans are coming up! They are the Kentucky Wonder variety, known for their true bean flavor.

We almost got hit by hail this last weekend. It passed 6 miles north of us. Whew! Thank goodness it missed us! If we had been hit it could have wrecked our garden. Especially so because the hail was quarter sized. When we heard that it might hail we hurried to cover as many plants as possible. Above is a picture of our peppers and tomatoes covered with pots. In the picture, you can just barely see our main garden beyond this tomato and pepper garden.
That's all for now!
