Kayla and Sarah picking the assorted lettuces that comprise the salad mix
This week's offerings: Last ears of sweet corn this week. Zucchini slowing down, but still enough for one for those that want it. Both kinds of melons again -- the smaller 'Sugar cube' cantaloupes, and a watermelon, which we are trying a red seedless. Cilantro appears again; we'll have a couple plantings coming on here in September. We switch off from yellow onions to red onions; shallots also available via swapping. (Other items available via swapping as well.) Lots of colored peppers are coming on, and are included in this week's totes. Some roma tomatoes available as well -- see picture of one variety that we tried (Gilbertie) from High Mowing Seeds. Some of those will be included for those getting the romas! We are starting to dig potatoes; we should see some soon!
Coming soon: Potatoes, more broccoli and cauliflower, different colored carrots, spinach
On the farm: This week we start taking out tomato vines from the greenhouse that are ending their life cycle. We plant a variety of crops in the greenhouses that will extend our season in the fall and into the winter, predominantly spinach, but also celery, scallions, salad mix, and carrots as well! Below a few other pictures of crops growing or ready to harvest!
Have a good week!
