It finally rained!!

Posted on June 30th, 2021 by Daniel Zimmerli

I've been writing a lot about the drought this season and I'm pleased to let everyone know that over the weekend we got around 3.5" of rain that was very desperately needed. The rain came over the course of Saturday afternoon and evening, Sunday's spotted showers and light rains on Sunday evening. We are SO relieved!

After the rain it seemed like everything grew a foot just over the weekend. Seeds we had planted weeks before have germinated. Our first planting of sweet corn is tasseling, our kohlrabi sized up faster than we could pick them, our vine crops are spreading outwards and the farm looks really, really good!
