snapping turtle nesting in the basil
ray and cub

~ from our June 2010 newsletter ~
We had an exciting surprise visit today. Over the course of the day we came across four different snapping turtles laying eggs in various fields. One laid her eggs in amongst the basil at the home field. Although it requires some arranging, trying to figure out how not to disturb the nests when we cultivate, we consider it a blessing and a good omen.
