Greetings,

We’re adding red cabbage this week, and Chioggia beets are back.

The second planting of broccoli is already coming on. Another ripple effect of all that heat in July is the early maturity of certain crops.

Madeleine, our intrepid worker and boon companion in the field, left today for three months in the British Isles. Much thanks to her for all her hard work and good humor through a long, hot summer.

At farmer’s market today I learned of two other farms that lost their basil to basil downy mildew. There were many surprised and disappointed customers wandering through the market in search of the herb. Apparently, basil is the most widely grown herb in the world so we set ourselves up for this problem to some extent. Hopefully, resistant strains will be developed through the breeder’s art.

Thanks as ever for your orders.

Enjoy,
Tim
