The deluge continued this week, and things are pretty soggy on the farm, but the cucumbers, head lettuce, carrots, and kale are coming on strong.  We also saw our first few ripe cherry tomatoes this week, so we'll probably be seeing significant numbers by the middle of next week...  Summ1 read more »
