Around the farm this week …

Some of our fields are already looking empty. These were filled with vegetables earlier. After they have been harvested we mow everything down. Sometimes we might need to grow a 2nd crop here but usually we try to let the ground rest until next year.

Recent plantings in other fields. The heat, humidity and lack of consistent rain of late make it difficult for these little seedlings to take hold and grow. We have been giving them extra water to help them along.

Zucchini & peppers (above) and tomatoes (below) are loving this weather! We are picking a few tomatoes now and should have enough for CSA in a few weeks.

Eggplant too.

Enjoying the neighbour’s mustard field.

Searching for ripe tomatoes!
