 We will have salad greens this week after not having any last week
 Thirsty bees
You might not be thinking of what you will be eating this winter yet...but we are. This is our new hoophouse before I tilled the soil yesterday. This week we will be transplanting kale and chard here and salad greens will be planted later in the early fall. Sometime in the next couple months when the weeding and planting and harvesting slows down and before it gets too cold we will put the plastic on the hoophouse. Also, this week we will be planting those beloved watermelon radishes that we hope to have available all winter.

Farm Event 
 Saturday August 15 6:00 we will host a tomato tasting event and potluck on the farm. Tomato varieties: Aunt Ruby's, Green Zebra, Jubilee, Geronimo, Rose de Berne, Great White, Black Krim plus 8 varieties of cherry tomatoes.
