Two Feet in the Dirt

We’re in the midst of another weather roller coaster. After some gorgeous weather last weekend, we’re now into a string of extremely hot days followed by a forecast of much cooler weather coming up. We’re over the hump of summer planting and are now moving into our heavy harvest period. Last week, Mike harvested nearly 300 pounds of cabbage and there’s still more to come in the field! The garlic scapes are in full swing and snap peas will be ready this or next week. Many of you have been asking about carrots, which should also be making an increased appearance over the next couple of weeks. Our first few carrot harvests are out of the hoop house, so we only get a small number of bunches, but I believe we’ll be moving into harvesting from the field by next week, which will hopefully mark the start of carrots for most of the rest of the season. Out in the field, the zucchini are putting out their first flowers, which means the start of the summer crop harvest is just around the corner!

We hope everyone is staying cool. It looks like this weekend should be lovely weather again, so we hope to see you at the markets!
