Farm Updates:

We missed you all dearly- because without people to eat our delicious vegetables the cycle just is not quite complete. So welcome back, and get your first taste of summer bounties this week!

While you were away, we were able to bite into some really large, looming tasks, and got quite a lot done. Leaving us feeling accomplished. Normally the goal by July first is to have 1 line of twine on the first set of tomatoes, and we have surpassed that by quite a bit.

The veggie crew came together n a big way this week, getting the posts fully in our first set of tomatoes, and twined with 2 lines going upwards to hold them upright, some even 3! Not just that but our second set of tomatoes (and chili peppers) are mulched with posts and almost fully twined. This will be important to ensure we cant fight off disease and rotting on the ground and improve our tomato haul over the course of the season.

The potatoes are indeed beautiful, and they should be here for a few weeks in our shares along with our onion crops which will keep going with the Reds and shift to our yellows soon!
