Hello! We are emerging from a very, very crazy month. Things are still crazy busy but we can see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Apologies for going quiet for the past few weeks but it’s been intense – still is… With lots still to plant and replant, and of course, lots of weeding thanks to a wet spring/early summer. It’s been tough going – mainly due to the poor weather. All of our farming friends are behind and dealing with poor germination and pest issues. All we can due now is hope for a warm dry summer and fall.
This week the boxes are a bit fuller in anticipation of a few potential ‘lean weeks ahead as we move from our spring plantings to summer ones. We finally have the polyhouses emptied of the carrots and planted (oh so late!) with tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. The basil will be planted tomorrow.
I hope folks are enjoying the produce and are happy with the weekly offerings. Because this is all s new to us we are riding by the seats of our pants and as a result haven’t been able to coordinate work bees, farm outings, etc. We still interested in having this happen. Let us know if you would be able to help make this idea a reality.
Cheers!
Farmer D
