We are seriously into our big summer harvests now. This week we have plentiful cherry tomatoes so we are putting them in the CSA shares at a reduced rate ($5) and we have the very first of our melons! A note about melons they year: They are in very short supply because of some serious difficulties with late May transplanting so for the next few weeks there will be only a few dozen per week. We expect to get a big load of them by September though. If you choose a melon this week, please note it could be a watermelon or a honey gold melon which is like an orange honeydew melon.
We are also starting to get a lot more big tomatoes from our hoophouses and even a few from outside. We are going to continue trying to pack them under-ripe in your shares to make sure they don't get crushed easily, but I think you will find the quality and flavour overall is going to be a big improvement from our June tomatoes. I believe we have been struggling to get the ripeness and fertility in our greenhouse tomatoes right this year, but they are also improving a lot since the earliest harvests.
