Reflections on Orientalism

Good morning everyone.
Wet and cool here this morning. But the newly planted tomatoes are loving it. Have 3 varieties of onions to do next. Will throw out some lettuce and a little broccoli.

Agritourism, Our Trip to White Oak Pastures

Maggie is an avid fan of the paper. She particularly enjoyed last months regenerative agriculture article
