REMINDER WASH YOUR PRODUCE!

Just a reminder to everyone, that your produce has been field washed, but it needs to be washed by you again before you eat it. I had one customer to tell me she had found a snail in her lettuce mix, and yes we are having a problem with snails and slugs what with all this rain. We try to pick off all that we can find, but with thousands of leaves of lettuce, we are bound to miss some, so just make sure you wash it again before you eat it! We don't spray unless we have to, and we don't ever spray our greens, the bugs & snails are just an extra bonus no charge added!

We even have tadpoles in our mud puddles as they never have time to dry up between rains!

Greg tilled up the plot where we plant our tomatoes, okra, peppers, eggplants & herbs and also the plot where we plant pumpkins, gourds and winter squash last night, hoping against hope that it wouldn't rain, and we could get beds made today and covered with plastic. We then could of planted anytime we wanted as the rain wouldn't have really bothered the beds too much. But that was not to be, so we'll have to wait and see what the weather is like next week. We have lots of things in the green house ready to go out!
