Farm Happenings for August 27, 2022

Posted on August 25th, 2022 by Mike Finger

Customization for this coming Saturday's (8/27) farm shares is now OPEN and will remain so until just before midnight tonight (Thursday).

If you'd like to review or edit your harvest NOW is the time to do so.  We have a lot of variety this week, plus several items available for swapping or extra purchase, so you might want to at least see what your options are.

Remember that if the link to your harvest embedded in this email doesn't work, you can always go directly to your member page in Harvie and edit it there.  Let us know if you have any difficulties in review or editing your share and we'll see if we can help.

This Week's Photo shows both the productivity and the challenge of growing a big vegetable patch. This scene is verdant to the extreme; you might wonder where the farm crew will walk during harvest, never mind where a wheel barrow might roll!  There are but 2 crops here: zucchini in the center, bounded on both sides by our final sowing of pole beans, the latter reaching over 7 feet at this point.  Not to be undone, the zucchinni have expanded vigorously to almost consume the entire 6' of ground between the beans, ground that presumably would have been ample for both vegetable and a foot path for the farmers.  Between ample fertility, water, and heat these crops have simply exploded in growth.  Of course, by now we should know the magnitude of the vegetative bombs we are planting; but, in truth, we still don't really believe ourselves just how much grown can take place at the heighth of summer.  So, we'll step carefully and perhaps prune a few leaves, and somehow we'll gather in the crop this jungle planting is likely to yield.  Soon enough the air will cool, the days shorten, and we'll be glad indeed we once authored and experienced this lush flood of green.

Thank You for your membership and support of our work!
