A Walk Around the Neighborhood
Our farm is located in a neighborhood of apartments, factories, and trailer homes. We decided to take a walk to explore our surroundings. We found a northern watersnake, two pear trees, a wild plum tree, a dead racoon, and many baby frogs. We saw a community garden with huge onions, bees, beetles, carrots, squash, peppers, lettuce, and way too many Japanese beetles. There were plenty of mosquitoes and huge bees on sunflowers. I was surprised at how big onions get when you don't harvest them!
