SELLMEYER FARM NEWSLETTER

Market today was slow at both Fulton and Columbia. We brought home onions, lettuce mix, and as always eggs! That's one thing that's nice about the CSA. We know how much to pick and know that it is sold, and we won't be bringing anything home! That is unless one of you forget to pick up your boxes! We had three this week forget, but one did call the next morning and we were able to deliver.

Thursday I had Lucas cleaning gutters, and all the branches off the roof of the house. Joe trimmed on our shrubs in front of the house. Looks so much better!!! Thursday and Friday evening we worked on getting all the tomato stakes pounded in. Greg did the pounding and wore out his post driver! The end came off while he was pounding in one post and hit him in the thigh! Nice little scrape and bruised area there! Then we got the first string on all the tomatoes put up. I think that is the earliest we've ever managed to get that job done! Course we have to keep on top of it as they grow, that's the hard part!

This evening Greg worked up a couple more beds, and we planted some more green beans! Greg went out to change some waterers, and saw a deer at the far end of our potato beds! I don't think we're going to have much broccoli, between the rabbits and the deer?!!!
