We worked on planting out more pumpkins and winter squash plants. We now have three rows of about 250 plants each planted and at least another row to go!
Here's a picture that Joe took of our peach trees!
Today we are picking for the CSA boxes. The full shares are getting peaches, blueberries, eggs, sweet potato bread, green beans or yellow wax beans, egg plant and a banana pepper. The half shares are getting peaches, blueberries, eggs, kohlrabi and a small tomato, (sample of what's to come). So now I know what the next question is going to be, what is kohlrabi and what do you do with it?! Well just click on the word kohlrabi and it will take you to a web site with all the information you need! Also I know you are wondering why everyone isn't getting the same things, and that is because we are still in between the Spring and Summer crops and there isn't enough of things yet for everyone to all get some of everything. Also with the wet weather some of our plantings came up spotty so there aren't enough green beans for everyone right now, but we have another planting and will just have to wait and see how that goes. Same thing with the cucumbers and zucchini, the first planting didn't go so well, and so we have to wait on the second planting! The joys of farming, but we are trying to make sure everyone gets their dollar amount worth in their boxes that's why the half shares aren't getting bread this week. The peaches and blueberries are high dollar items so it doesn't take much to get to the ten dollar mark, but next week there probably won't be blueberries for the half shares so depending how the peppers and eggplant do you may get bread again! I hope this make sense to everyone and explains how this all works.
