Life at the farm:  


Bees love the chemical- and pesticide-free flowers grown at Blue Skys Farm!













Project:  Save the Echinacea (aka Coneflower)

<---Before photo.

It is not easy being a perennial flower at the farm.  All the weeds, especially Stinging Nettle (ouch!), Mugwart and grasses, love to invade on your territory. 








<--- After photo. 

A happy Echinacea plant!  If you look closely, you can see a flower starting to appear.

Success!











A beautiful Dwarf Zenia bloom.  We will have these plants for sale on Saturday.














Hope to see you at the market!
