Message from the farmers
Greetings,
We’ve had a bit of rain fall out this way over the last few days. Our total accumulation is approximately (8) inches for the month of September. This is more than twice the normal amount for this time of year in this area. While it helps some crops mature, it has been a challenge for some vegetable like tomatoes. With the excessive moisture on the foliage, disease progression and development is a major concern. The tomatoes tend to crack at their stem from the extra water content as well. Noticeably absent from our harvest list tomorrow, we hope to have some tomatoes in the weeks to come, but will have to see how they grow from now on.
Broccoli continues to come in well and our first planting of Cauliflower is ready for harvest. We plan on having some for both the partial and full share members on Tuesday. Leeks have just started coming into harvest size too, so we hope to have some for both groups in coming weeks too.
Be well,
Fred and Karen
