May Photography & Flowers
Here's a look at our front field in the picture above on May 6, 2024. We are obviously still very green and in growing mode. Our spring meadow did not materialize as we had hoped. But we'll try again for next year! I do think we'll see pops of color later on though. And our black-eyed Susans are lining up to be as beautiful as ever across the front of the farm! I expect they will start blooming by the last week of May and hit peak bloom around June 15th.
