Week 6

Posted on July 18th, 2022 by Kristine Hammel

We are very close to tomatoes!

The first cherry tomatoes are ripening on the vines. With the warm and sunny weather we are having and forecast to have, I think we may have the first few pints available this Friday and more next week!

The cucumbers are also looking good and the summer squash are big!

We are planting the second round of fall crops this week -- two more beds of cabbage, one each of cauliflower and broccoli, along with the next rounds of beets, chicories (another variety trial of radicchio is on the way!), herbs and more. On Saturday, I seeded 6 beds of carrots. A good soaking rain on Wednesday would really get them off to a good start. Keep your fingers crossed.

For those buying eggs -- if the egg cartons are in good shape, please return them and we will reuse them.

Have a great week!
