Farm Happenings for July 24, 2019

Posted on July 19th, 2019 by Lorien Carsey

Good morning!

It was great seeing everyone at the pick up on Wednesday. One of our employees was out so I delivered to Urbana. Watching everyone pick up their shares while rushing from work, with their kids, on their bikes, etc. made me feel grateful that you all take the time out of your lives to make local food a priority. Thanks so much! This week we planted a round of fall crops in our field: kale, collards, chard, broccoli, cabbage, etc. We also got our fall carrots seeded into the field, covered and watered. When it's hot outside as it has been, it's hard to get a good germination on carrots. We hope to know by Monday if we have a good germination or if we have to flame it off and start all over. Fingers crossed! We are finally starting to see the spring crops slow down and the summer crops pick up. We should have eggplant soon and it looks like our field tomatoes are going to start being ready by next week.

Enjoy your weekend!
