This is the view of six of the back 50 acres of Mellow Meadows. It used to be farmed, but the drainage is so poor that harvests were a waste of time. There is potential for ponds back there where the water table bubbles up through the soil... lots of standing water much of the time, but especially after a rain. A small area of federally designated wetland lies within the woods right at the back of the field on the north side. Muck boots are a necessity! We have Boy Garden and Girl Garden for our veggies in the sections closest to the front. The back brownish area is left to clover and wild things. Swallows, blue birds, purple martins, gold finches and other birds love this area.
