Happy summer everyone!
Next week we will be hosting another Weed and Feed session on Saturday morning
between 9am and noon. Please come and
join us as we learn about wild edibles in the field and improve our pick your
own fields at the same time.
With all of the warm, dry weather we have been having the
last couple of weeks it is once again time to think about irrigation. The annual wrestling match between farmer and
the bent and buckled aluminum pipe will once again decide whether our plants thrive
or wither. My confidence is high that we
will triumph once again.
Our tomatoes are entering their awkward adolescence. They have begun to grow long and leggy and
without proper structure they will likely turn out rotten. To keep our tomatoes on the straight and
narrow we will begin a regiment of trellising as soon as possible.
Squash are in blossom, broccoli is just beginning to bud and
cabbage is starting to head up. All
welcome signs of early summer. Look for
these and many more favorites in the coming weeks.
