Farm Update

Down on the Farm We can't believe that we are winding our way to the end of July already and we're still waiting for the tomatoes to ripen!! We're predicting by the end of next week we should be able to start picking a few. We have cherry tomatoes and a very few of the heirloom tomatoes, so they're just beginning. We are a full week behind last year at this point. With all our farmhands this year, friendships develop, customs begin, nicknames pop up, etc. Tina brought a fresh picked raspberry pie a week ago Tuesday. I smartly declared Tuesday as "Pie Day" the rest of the season. We have "No Sweat" Matt2. We have "Apples" That's Jeffrey who made an apple pie week 2 of Pie Day. We have Harvey "H-Bomb" We have "The Queen" That's Annabel who's English. And Ginny received her nickname this week with much grace and a description of how and when nicknames came to be. Ginny, who can tell you something about just about anything has been dubbed "Wikiginia" a play on the on-line encyclopedia "Wikipedia" This week at the farm: Beets Salad Mix Arugula Red Potatoes White Potatoes Onions Garlic Cucumbers Summer Squash Green Peppers Jalapenos Turnips Sweet Corn Cherry Tomatoes Egg Plant Cabbage Radishes Eggs (get here early) Honey Have a great weekend!
