Somebody do a rain dance, please!
What was in my bag today?
- Sweet Walla Walla Onions
- Head Lettuce
- Basil
- Squash
- Cucumbers
- Snap Beans
- Radicchio
- Fennel or Carrots
- Kohlrabi
We have been trying to irrigate as much as possible to keep our plants healthy during this dry, hot period. We have had over 12,000 gallons of water hauled to the farm so far. The crops are hanging in there and look surprisingly good (unlike the farmers at this point.) Our fall planting has been delayed as we wait for rain. Baby transplants would not do well in this weather! We will harvest young potatoes soon and more carrots, so look for them in upcoming bags.
We have added a generator to our Christmas list after we went with out power for 30 hours last weekend! We had to haul a truckload of vegetables to a friend’s cooler while ours sat there useless without the power.
Feel free to add a comment if you are enjoying the produce we have been bringing you.
Think rain,
Johnny
