In the shares today: cippolla onions, celery stalks, zucchini, lemon cucumbers, lettuce, kale, tomatoes, romano beans, basil. The celery stalks should be nice for chopping up and adding to cooked or raw dishes for a bit of crunch and celery flavor – We’re cleaning up the plants and hoping to get some larger snacking sized heads for next month. The zucchini were very large today, result of harvesting a little too light on Thursday and the very warm weekend weather – Thursday will likely be very different as the weather looks very different between now and then. We won’t put kale in Thursday’s shares, but we’ll look at the chard and that might make another appearance. Tomatoes seem to be the one crop really cranking right now!
It was a drizzly morning and although I was expecting rain later in the week I had hoped we’d get another dry day today. No matter, we were still able to harvest, and just had to deal with a little extra mud and wet feet all day. Thursday I’ll be properly suited up, but I’m still hoping that it’ll go back to a dry cycle for the rest of summer and early fall as we have a lot of crops that need dry weather to really do well. This is also going to throw a little wrench into the weeding schedule, but it will take the pressure off the irrigation schedule for once.
