Hot - Hot - Hot
We
had temperatures in the 90’s for the past few days making it difficult to work
in the fields. We start early in the am to plant and harvest before it gets too
hot with the crew putting in 5 hours. This week looks like another hot week
with some rain to come.
The back field is growing nicely. The harvested lettuce was
replaced with kale & collards. The garlic is getting close to the full
harvest. We did start a harvesting a few rows on Saturday and it is included in
this week’s delivery. The nasturtium flowers are in full bloom and are included
in the delivery. We put together a nice fresh salad with the flowers for our
farm lunch on Saturday – a nice treat!
Another
row of cabbage and herbs were planted and the last of the eggplant transplants
were planted in both the greenhouse & the field.
The
repaired fence is keeping out the deer and with the hot temperatures they like
to settle down in the deep woods where it is cooler anyway.
After
a late start, the plantings in the field are catching up. We had about 1” of
rain during the week though we do continue to irrigate the fields with these
hot temperatures.
Have
a great week and a Happy 4th of July!
