Time to lean down tools and have a bit of a chat. The field is coming along nicely and we are starting to find our groove at long last. We dropped in at the Farmer's Market and everyone was signing the "not enough rain blues" Thankfully, we have have about $12,000 worth of flat hose, wobbler heads, drip tape and all the gear clamps you could possibly want and still somehow we are always needing more. Every two hours things are getting moved and along with this heat, the things that are established are growing extremely well. Now...getting fall crops that are seeded is proving to be a bit of a struggle but we ultimately I think we will be just fine.
Before I forget...River road is still under construction. You can most easily access us from Leitrim and then past the signage that indicates local traffic only. Coming to the farm makes you ...local traffic. Kind of like a secret club. A bunch of questions around boxes. Cardboard boxes still seem the best solution. Can they be returned? The are not supposed to be. But if it is in perfect shape.... you know.
It really was the quintessential summer day today. I hope you are able to savour some of it as you make your weekly picks. Definitely we are in the heart of bean season. We did have a bed of lettuce bolt on us which was a bit dissappointing. There is some lovely Bok Choi ready to come this week. I am a fan of it. Pretty sure we have enough to go around but I better take a second count just to be sure. Upto this year a box was a box was a box. Now that we are customizing it is making the business of 'counting' a lot more ...let us just say.... interesting (lol)
Acks! It is almost 6pm. Best get going. I hope you enjoy this week's offering. Thank you for being awesome. Your messages and notes of encouragment and support are much appreciated :-)
