Good morning folks. Looks like some hot days ahead! The heat will certainly help accelerate the growth of our summer crops with Zucchini getting closer by the day and Tomatoes flowering up a storm. However, the heat can also pose some problems like too much heat stressing plants, so it is very likely that I need to put shade cloth on our Tomato tunnel to temper the heat over the next few days.

Otherwise, things have been moving right along on the Farm with many transplants going in this week like Peppers, Eggplant, Lettuce and more Tomatoes. We already have some of our beds on their second crop of the season! Each week there is also constant maintaining of beds with weeding, trellising and because of the dry weather keeping crops watered and happy.

Stay cool everyone and hope to see you at the Stand


Cheers Dan and Kathleen.
