Oh deer!


Greetings,

We got a good 1 1/2 inches of rain the other night, with more on the way on Thursday, so they say. All that will get us through the heat that’s on it’s way this weekend, so they say.

Beets are starting to size up so we can offer some of each kind. As always, if what you want is sold out you can ask for it in the comment section.

The squash has begun as well. Because it’s growth is so unpredictable we may have to mix and match varieties. For example, you can order 2 lbs. cousa, but one of those lbs. may be green or yellow zucchini. We can usually provide what you want, but can’t guarantee that. If you only want the kind you order please say so in the comments.

The other crops are coming along. The potato plants look especially nice so far (knock on wood, as always).

We were visited by a gang of deer the other night and they ate most of the chard and 50 plus heads of lettuce. Ouch. That was unusual for this time of year as they generally stay out of the field until the fall. I put up a quick deterrent fence and we’ll see how well that works.

Thank you for your orders and for the reusable bags.

Enjoy,
Tim
