Farm Life Continues

Another installment of Farm Life from Vicky of Genesis Growers: We sure do have some hot weather.  I think these are the dog days of summer.  They sure aren’t people days.  We sweated and sweated and sweated and finally came in out of the heat.  This is some brutal heat.  One thing the heat has...
