Today we harvested some truly magnificent #leeks for this week's CSA shares. (As well as some truly mediocre Brussels sprouts, but I'm not going to show you those, because, as everyone knows, everything is always perfect here on the Instagram. 😉) #handsholdingvegetables #verygoodvegetables #blackbirdfarmscsa

On the farm, there are the urgent things, and there are the important things. One of the important things I try do do each spring and fall is plant something to make this place ever more beautiful. So this morning (before the rains come) I'm planting bulbs, like these Red Velvet lilies from @old.house.gardens. Winter may be coming, but my mind is already turning toward next spring. #theeyeneedssomethingtoo

What a good potato year we're having! A couple of samples from today's harvest: Purple Viking and Red Pontiac, both reliable producers for us, and beautiful to boot! #tatertuesday #handsholdingvegetables #verygoodvegetables #blackbirdfarmscsa

"I have planted by the stars in defiance of the experts,
and tilled somewhat by incantation and by singing,
and reaped, as I knew, by luck and Heaven's favor,
in spite of the best advice."

• Wendell Berry, "The Contrariness of the Mad Farmer"
