This is my friend David Greer who tends a wonderful
garden in Versailles, Kentucky that belongs to my friend Peppe.
This was taken last year when we were taking "field samples" of the
heirloom tomatoes. (Out of the frame is a 6-pack of
Molson’s red label, Mr. Greer’s favorite).

Jack the wonder pony, official mascot of Honest Farm, poses
in the paddock with his fly mask on. Jack is a lover, not a biter
(rare for ponies). But just don’t try to ride him (loves kids but
not kids who climb on his back).

This was a kitchen garden I helped plant for my friend Peppe at
her farm in Versailles (she also took the photo). Here, I’m
sowing beans next to spring radishes in late spring. By the
time the beans need more room the radishes will be harvested.
