Plants are photosynthesizing at full force, flowers are in bloom, and fruits and vegetables are ripening in the sun. The days leading up to and just after the solstice are often when crops hit their stride—lush, vibrant, and full of energy. At this time of year, fields are green, bees are busy pollinating, and the garden is alive with color and movement. It’s a period of peak vitality—a reward for the hard work of spring planting and preparation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b397d888be9955459b4205/1748092969358-YNAM597YFA3D3S3XRBOJ/unsplash-image-IkU2mSzVeVs.jpg Sow & Tell - The Significance of the Summer Solstice in Farming - The Solstice Through History Long before the invention of modern farming tools, ancient agricultural societies observed the sun's patterns closely. Many built planting and harvesting calendars around the solstices and equinoxes. From Stonehenge to ancient Native American structures, historical sites aligned with the sun’s position on solstice days highlight how crucial this turning point was to early farmers. These cultures often held festivals to honor the sun, giving thanks for fertile lands and praying for continued growth and good harvests. Today, the solstice continues to be a reminder of our deep connection to the natural world and its seasonal cycles. https://www.richfieldfarms.com/sow-tell/how-to-keep-your-garden-thriving-through-a-heatwave monthly 0.5 2025-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b397d888be9955459b4205/1748092304380-0HUQ50N4PBIGD0BODRUU/unsplash-image-absT1BNRDAI.jpg Sow & Tell - How to Keep Your Garden Thriving Through a Heatwave When summer brings sweltering heat to North Jersey, your garden feels it just as much as you do.
