Straw

My dad and brother got our annual supply of straw last Saturday.  We use the straw primarily for mulching down the aisles of our garden.  It keeps a lot of unnecessary weeds down, and it is also much cleaner for sitting on when you're picking.  Another wonderful thing about straw, it is a effective way to reduce your potato beetle population.  For some reason or other they don't like it.  It has helped us so much!

Just a few shots from around the farm.  Everything is growing so fast!
