July 7th,2020 Can't believe it has been so long since posting! sorry, we are so busy on the farm. Took me a while to even figure out the new format on NeuroTalk, but finally got signed in! Farm work comes first, check emails usually every day, but not much time to write....still here and kicking though. Fava bean harvest is over for the year, and we are back to planting perennial crops. Trying to propagate more strawberries, blueberries, etc and planting fruit trees, pruning, mulching . Lots of weed-eating to do also. Do have a "workaway" person here right now that is good with engine repair and he has gotten 3 weedeaters running perfectly for me now that were broken down...now I can hit the wooded area again and get it cleaned up so we can pick wild blackberries and wineberries up there. Our tame blackberries are about a week away from starting to ripen also. Want so much to get mushrooms started. My health is very good, muscle strength and stamina even better than last year. Still using the fava pod tincture a couple of times a day when slowing down and my neck starts to scream at me and walking gets slow. A couple minutes and I'm back to working again. God is so good and has blessed us so very much. Soon we will have tomatoes to share, gave away 6 cucumbers today and they are starting to come on strong. Our support groups have not been able to meet because of the COvid, but hope we can get back together for an outdoor picnic soon Miss seeing everyone and pray that you all are staying well and keeping active during this strange time in our world of masks and seclusion. God Bless and be be with everyone. Love, Aunt Bean
