Summer Solstice

Wisconsin Families Garden is having a great season so far!
What better way to ring in the first day of summer, June 21, 2010, than to reflect on the blessings and bounty of the passing Spring. Here are some photos from our gardens.

Thank you to everyone who followed and commented on our spring Gardening Info Series and to all those who helped in the gardens this spring! One of the best parts of my job is explaining the wonders of the growing plants and critters to curious minds. It's so nice to have such interested and curious kids (and adults!) participating this year.
