no more humidity!


This post expired on September 04, 2023.

Greetings,

The last few days were pretty awful from the humidity, but much improvement tonight.

Such conditions – warmth, humidity and heavy showers – aren’t kind to a lot of the crops. Lettuce generally, and Boston in particular, doesn’t do very well. Once the weather settles down we’ll see how things have fared.

Meanwhile, here’s what’s up for this first week in September:

Please note – the red cabbage is offered at $3 each, but actually goes for $1.40/pound. We’ll adjust the price up or down according to weight.

Field tomatoes are doing well (at least they were when I saw them yesterday before last night’s brief monsoon around 11:30!) If you order 5 lbs or more the price will be $2.50/lb.

We’re adding Lacinato kale, and green bell peppers are back, at least for awhile.

We only have a few red leaf and Boston lettuces, but plenty of salad mix.

The eggplant continues to limp along so we have a little of that.

The broccoli is largely done until the third planting is ready in a little while.

The last planting of squash looks healthy, while the cucumbers are slowing down and may be gone after next week.

Spinach, baby bok choy, cauliflower, leeks, celery root, green cabbage, Copra onions and Kennebec potatoes will be coming along in the weeks ahead.

Thank you for your orders and enjoy the drier air.

Tim
