Hi Folks,
Here's an update from the field:
Bumper crops of onions, leeks, winter squash, potatoes, carrots, kale, cabbages, chard, celery, fennel, rutabegas, and parsnips. It looks like we'll have a bountiful fall!
The tomatoes are now coming in full steam, it's a race now between late blight and harvestable fruit. Our record in the past was ten weeks of distributions. If we still have fruit in the end of September, I'll consider it a success.
The eggplants are doing well, though we thought to give the eggplants a few weeks to regenerate after so much picking. The peppers were planted in a wet field and so seem to be having a hard time making perfect red specimens. Hence the distributions of green/red peppers; hopefully the ripe reds will start coming in. Please note these are not hot peppers even though they are pointy.
We've been planting salad mix and arugula every week, and so expect to start having these items regularly through the late summer/early fall.
The melons look good, right on the edge of harvest. We'll see soon how they taste...
