Week 8
With great disappointment, but
hopeful determination I must announce that this week’s delivery is cancelled
due to the drought conditions.
Here at the farm we received less
than half the average amount of rainfall in May and now in June, only a third
of the average amount. We have done our best to hand water the field nursing
the plants through. They are slowly growing and the boys and I were extremely
thankful today to see some flowers and shoots emerging. This means we should be
back on track for next week.
Today brought intermittent showers
and the forecast for this evening is rain. All the rain in the past week
Halifax has been experiencing has unfortunately bypassed us. Keep your fingers
crossed as the soil is so dry. Numerous other farmers in the area and in the
Valley are also experiencing a very hard time. Let’s all hope for a wonderful
soaking rainfall for the province.
I hope all of you have a wonderful
Canada Day Weekend. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Your Farmer,
Amber
