Around the farm this week …

The 1st Sungold tomatoes are ripening! 🙂

Lots of little blackberries on the blackberry canes. Harvest should begin in early August.

Our next planting of zucchini almost hidden amongst the cover crop this morning.

By lunch the cover crop was mowed and the zucchini was mulched with straw. This will make for easier picking and cleaner fruit.

Each week I seed a couple rows of sunflowers but now the birds have started digging up the seeds and eating them. By covering the rows with old insect netting until the seeds germinate I hope to thwart their destruction – extra work for me, but worth it to protect our flowers.

The Georgetown Farmers’ Market started off very wet on Saturday, and although the rain eased up, sales were still slow.

School’s out!

Time to work!
