New this week, New Potatoes & a limited amount of Sweet Corn! The sweet corn is smaller than normal due to the dry weather, but certified organic sweet corn is always a treat !
Also, tomatoes are picking up speed & BASIL is growing like crazy too! A good combination! If you haven't tried our cherry tomatoes & are on the fence about tomatoes, try ours! They turn tomato haters into lovers! My girls eat them like candy. It takes me offering my 2 year old the tomatoes a few times, but once she gives them a try she hooked all summer! The orange cherry tomato is our farms favourite, they're called "Sun Sugar" so it's an especially easy tomato to get my kiddos to eat!
A fail this week is our summer broccoli & cauliflower! This heat/drought is great for two things, weeds and pests! So the summer crop of broccoli and cauliflower are looking pretty rough, I'm starting to loose hope in them amounting to anything. Luckily, lots of fall broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage just went into the ground, and they always do better because they love cool weather, especially when they are forming heads. That crop that was just planted will mature later in September, so much nicer cooler temperatures then & hopefully we'll get some rain along the way too!
