Week 6 -- Summer sunshine!

Posted on July 22nd, 2024 by Kristine Hammel

Less rain and more sunshine is making for far fewer slugs in the garden! Apologies for any that made it to your kitchens. As another farmer posted on social media recently, if the produce is safe for the slugs to eat, that also bodes well for you! But seriously, I hope you aren't finding any in the produce! More sunshine is also making for a few more ripe tomatoes. So many, in fact that it looks like they'll be in shares starting next week! This week is an abundance of snow and sugar snap peas!
