Honey and humidity


Greetings,

I broke into a sweat yesterday just typing an email. Where’s our refreshing fall weather? Maybe tomorrow…

A reminder that if your account is empty, or nearly so, you can continue to order and pay by check. Those who pick up at the farm can pay at pick up, and those who use the Union Mill can mail a check. Email or call if you have any questions.

Meanwhile, the honey harvest is in and our one hive of hard working bees (well, the females that is) produced around 100 pounds, of which we took about 40. The remainder should get them through the winter, hopefully.

Fresh honey and ginger – a nice combination for tea and ginger syrup.

No salad mix this week, but more later, if we’re lucky. The 1 1/2 inches of rain put an end to the tomatoes in the field and the heat and humidity brought on the broccoli so fast that it’s mostly gone by. There’s a last planting which we may or may not get. At least the Bull’s Horn Peppers are enjoying the heat.

The deer aren’t fooled by the warm weather and are starting to feed more aggressively out in the field. Time to put row covers over some of the crops.

I hope to do a bulk order at the end of the month or early November. There should be carrots, onions and potatoes at a discount when bought in bulk, and maybe some other items. More on that later.

Thanks for your orders.

Tim
