Farm Happenings for August 7, 2018

Posted on August 6th, 2018 by Daniel Chappell

We’ve been starting to feel the effects of the dry weather in the last week or so, but luckily we saw a bit or rain on Saturday that helped give all the plants a little break. We’re looking at quite the heat wave in the forecast this week and I’m sure not going to enjoy being in the field on those hot days!

I had been looking forward to finally giving some cucumbers in the share this week, but so far every cucumber I bit into this weekend was so bitter I had to spit it out! I’m going to be giving the plants some more mulch and increasing irrigation to see if I can get them to taste better, but it’s possible I just chose the wrong variety for my greenhouse this season.

The tomato and bean harvest has come into full swing, so everyone can get a bag of each this week!
