Hi to all!

Potato bugs are back.  I sprayed again on Friday and hopefully this will take care of them.  If you see bugs on your personal plant, feel free to just squish them.  With the few plants that many of you have, that is a good way to get rid of the hatched bugs.  Look on the underside of the leaves for gray or orange eggs and squish those too.  You can also pinch off the leaves that the eggs are on and put them in a bag to throw in your garbage or burn.

The wheat was looking stressed and so after three hours of hauling pipe and fitting pipe (I swear I will never get the irrigation thing down), it is going to have a good watering today.  It shouldn't need more than that.

We have a wonderful summer school program at East Valley for Ag Related experience.  Jeff Boyd and his students will be working in the farm on different projects learning about all the facets of farming.  What a great opportunity for the 16 students that are in the class!

See you all at the farm!
