Dark, damp, foggy days of winter yet the land keeps on giving. And it\u2019s all super delicious! And today we\u2019re getting about 2 inches of rain, about 15% of our total annual rainfall, just from this one storm! Our soil, made more permeable and porous from several years of compost applications, is soaking it up like a sponge, with no run off or puddling what so ever.\r\n\r\nWhile the drought may not be officially over, this rain will bring much needed moisture and nitrogen to all the plants. We here at Frog Hollow Farm are so thankful for this rain.\r\n\r\nA very happy holidays to one and all,\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Signature of Farmer Al\" src=\"http:\/\/happychildcsa.com\/assets\/FarmerAlSig.gif\" width=\"250\" \/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A NOTE FROM FARMER AL Mid December Bounty Dear CSA Members, The bounty of this soil, our farm, never ceases to amaze me.
