Catalpa Ridge News - July 16, 2018


Garlic Harvest is completed

The crew has finished the garlic harvest. All the garlic beds have now been tilled and ready to plant with new crops.

We received about 1 ½” of rain on Saturday night and it was needed. We have been irrigating the fields during the past few weeks but now this “soaking-in” rain has really perked up the crops.

Some local sweet corn is starting to show up and we will probably be delivery some over the next few weeks. Farmer Diane usually has some nice corn over the course the season and we hope this year’s corn will be just a good as in the past.

The crew seeded some kale during the week and it is ready to be transplanted into the field this week. The cucumbers, beans, and tomatoes are really coming
along nicely. We transplanted leeks into the harvested garlic beds.

This week we also plan on seeding additional root crops and winter squash.

Have a great week.
