Tasting the Tricky Treats

Beautiful ladies.

The farm is beginning to burst with veggies! Sarah, Sydney, and their volunteers have been working very hard out there in the fields – they survived the heat wave of last week (which our veggies thrived in). Zucchini, cucumbers, basil, tomatoes, mmmm, my mouth is watering. You can take home a basket of our best every week if you sign up for our CSA. To learn more and for sign-up instructions, visit our CSA page.

We had our first day of planting today on the Farm! We got nearly 300 tomatoes and over 200 zucchinis in the ground. Sydney hand watered them all (no small chore!). Our drip irrigation is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, and we will be planting cukes and more tomatoes. Spading with the tractor has been difficult. The soil is very dry, even where we irrigated with sprinklers. The sections that got a good watering worked very nicely and it tells me that in the future the spader will be quite good at essentially double digging a bed. For now we have to deal with what we have- which is really good in some places, not so good in others.

But the main point is that we have 8 whole beds planted! More of the same tomorrow. 12 hour field days, here we come!
