What's new
Greetings,
The one new item this week is broccoli. I entered 20 pounds as the amount available, but’s it very hard to predict how much there will actually be. It could be more or less. I walk through a planting and note the number of heads of a certain size and guess if they’ll be ready by Friday morning and if so then what their weight might be. It’s a very inexact science.
If the broccoli is sold out you can ask for it in the comment section and I’ll add it to your order if it’s available.
We’re still planting lettuce from the greenhouse and sowing salad mix and arugula. In the days ahead we’ll be harvesting the Copra onions, our storage onion, and putting them in the barn to cure. The other day Madeleine and I cut the stems off the garlic which is done curing to make way for the onions.
With September on the way we’ll be offering fall crops like cabbage, kale and leeks soon and rye and oats are beginning to be sown to cover bare ground for the winter.. As Joni Mitchell sang, “The seasons they go round and round”.
Thanks very much for your orders.
Enjoy,
Tim
