Things have cooled dawn this week which means we have been getting more work done. We are starting the process of planting for fall with crops like beets, carrots, and radishes. Unfortunately our Zucchini has been suffering from blossom end rot. We are trying out a new product for us that is OMRI certified to try and remedy this so you can start getting some delicious zucchini in your box as soon as possible. All the other veggies are doing great though. The animals have also been enjoying the cooler temps. Our ducks have decided on their own to move in with the chickens. We decided to comply with their wishes and moved their duck coup in there for them. The chickens don't seem to mind other than the ducks splashing water all over the place and With the hot weather who can really be mad about that.
