We are starting to really see the effects of the heat and drought now. It looks like our cucumbers are succumbing to the drought, heat, insects and disease. But more importantly we will not have salad greens of any kind for at least a couple weeks. A couple plantings of lettuce did not germinate, the greens mix has not had enough moisture to grow and the spinach bolted very quickly in all of this heat. We are sorry about this. We strive very hard to have at least some kind of salad green every week.
And now our pond is almost empty. This is shaping up to be the roughest year of weather we have had since we started farming 13 years ago.
Sorry to be so negative. I know I should try to stay more positive, but not really feeling it right now.
