The Accidental Farmer

I grow lettuce for a living.
Ladybugs love sunflowers.

Grow flower grow!

Neat picture.  I wish I got to grow cucumbers!  And especially tomatoes.  Getting a little tired of lettuce, lettuce, lettuce, chard, lettuce, kale, lettuce, lettuce.  Oh, and watercress. It’s a mystery to me who is buying all this watercress.

I haven’t had much time to post things lately because the lettuce is absolutely exploding. Production has quadrupled in the past month. So not much time for picture taking. However, we found this little guy chilling out in the greenhouse today. I’ve never seen a frog (toad?) this color before. Anyone know what it is?

Away from the farm to deal with some family issues, so here’s some hydrangeas I saw today, in lieu of lettuce or ladybugs.
