Summertime Fruits are just around the corner!

Posted on July 21st, 2018 by Heather Coffey

We're so very close to tomatoes, cucumbers, even ground cherries... but it feels so far away while I'm preparing our harvest sheets. This week is a quieter week at the farm in terms of diversity, but not to dismay the abundance is on the way! We lost a few crops to that heat wave, did you know that plants flower as a response to stress? So all that heat... sent a few veggies into flowering mode and that means the flavour goes by the wayside and we don't harvest them anymore for eating. We've got a good system to supply water though, so the future crops are coming along nicely.
