Just Call Us Sun Farmers

If one sits back and thinks about farming, they will realize that what farmers are actually doing is harvesting the sun.

Plants are solar collectors.
The chloroplasts in plants convert the solar energy into food.
That solar energy then makes the plants grow.
The solar energy that feeds the plants then feeds the people when they consume the plants.

Therefore: we are sun farmers.

With all that said, right now is our peak season. The temperatures are in the 80s(in the shade!) and with very few clouds in the sky the gardens are soaking up all the sun and loving it. Corn especially will be benefiting from this as it loves weather like this and it should be growing like crazy right now.
