f you’re headed to the Minnesota State Fair tomorrow, you can check out my brother Joe the Melissophile as he dons a beard of bees!  1:30pm on Wednesday the 28th in the Horticulture Building on the fairgrounds.  Don’t worry, he and the bees will be in a cage.  If only we had a cage for Joe when he was twelve:)

At the farm we are drowning in zucchinis despite the drought.  Our five plants produces these eight monsters in just one picking!  My folks are huge fans of the mild flavor of their white zucchini variety named Caveli.
