The irrigation gun watering the lower field. This piece of equipment is amazing!
A beautiful variety of Dahlia growing in the lower field. These plants need supports to keep them from bending over from their own weight and height.
It is definitely worth the extra effort!
Calendula drying in the Blue Skys Drying Room.
This flower has long been utilized for the soothing and healing of skin irritations but there are other uses as well. Take a look at the website The Nerdy Farm Wife as she lists 14 uses for calendula tea.
