SELLMEYER FARM NEWSLETTER

Wow, this weather has been amazing! It's hard to believe it's mid July and the temperatures are in the mid 80's to 60's at night!

We've had a good week. We had box day on Tuesday, and picked eggplant, okra, tomatoes, peppers, peaches and blackberries for that. We also had onions and potatoes to put in the boxes. We took excess produce to the Fulton Farmers' market on Wednesday, then I baked on Thursday and we picked again on Friday for today's markets. Greg & I went to Columbia and Lucas & Megan went to Fulton. But unfortunately blackberries didn't go well today, so I need to freeze about 16 quarts and use for jam and pies to sell later!

We've been digging on the potatoes. We have 3 rows done, and 2 and half yet to go. So far we've dug the Red Norlands, Yukon Gold's and the Nor Valley's, which are a white potato.

We've used the new tractor a couple of times to pull wagons, and it seems to work very well and easy, so I think it will be a welcome addition to the "family"!
