Field conditions on Friday, July 28th

The corn fields are well protected by mesh fences to prevent damage from animals!

The trees are producing beautiful fruit, including watermelons, pumpkins, eggplants, and edamame beans.

Wild grapes and blueberries are also growing well!

A lovely sign bearing a "Prayer for Peace" has been erected in the sunflower field, where beautiful flowers are in full bloom.

Tiny green frogs also visit the fields and sing together in the evening!

This is a magnificent field bubbling with astonishing vitality!!!
