Farm Happenings for July 30, 2022

Posted on July 27th, 2022 by Alexander Admin

Howdy All!

As we enter the last weekend of July, we are looking forward to our August outlook. It doesn't appear that we will have any relief to this years summer heat and drought anytime soon. Despite the heat, we are still producing quite a bit of our summer crops. A few crops are stressed such as our peppers but others are enjoying the heat like our sweet potatoes. Additionally, our next succession of eggplant is coming in and looking healthy. We have two varieties this half of summer. The first is Asian Delight. Similar to millionaire, this is a long skinny eggplant but slightly shorter and a consistent diameter throughout its entire length. The other is Black Beauty. This is a smaller Italian variety that is perfect for eggplant parmigiana. You will also notice our first summer green, sweet potato greens, trickling into the selection. Other veggies to look forward to in August include roselle greens, Hale's bests cantaloupe, and motherland okra. As always, thank you for your continued support!

Best,

Kenny
