Farm Happenings for June 8, 2019

Posted on June 5th, 2019 by Kimberly Decker

Hi CSA members!

Spring is giving way to summer in a hurry these days; last week's rain has turned into this week's sunshine and warmth.  Great news for the tomatoes, squash, and cukes, not so great for the broccoli!  But we'll take it, and we're excited to have cherry tomatoes!  Sometimes it's hard to believe, in the dead of winter, that the heat will return, and we'll be seeking shade and going swimming in four short months, but the seasons keep turning, and it's truly one of the joys of farming.  About the time we start to tire of cutting firewood, tending greenhouse crops, and picking spinach, the season changes, and we're prepping fields like crazy, seeding radishes and carrots, and transplanting kale.  Then about the time we are worn out of that work, we start to harvest tomatoes, cukes, and zukes on a daily basis, fight weeds all over the place, and turn under spinach and radishes.   Turn, turn, turn.   It's a great life, and we don't get bored of it. 

Thanks for choosing us to be your farmers.
