CSA Harvest - Week 6

Hello Everyone,

It rained a little more last night, and thunder rumbled in the distance as I fell asleep. There is nothing quite like the early morning hours after a rainstorm. It is heavenly. I love that fresh smell and calmness in the air. 

The beautiful morning made for a very enjoyable harvest.  Can you believe we are already a third of the way through the season? I hope you have been enjoying the fresh produce thus far. 

This week's share includes the following:

Salad Greens
Head Lettuce

Kale, Chard or Collard Greens

Snap Peas and/or Snow Peas

Carrots

Turnips

Cucumber

Basil

Edible Flowers

Kohlrabi

Pepper (Beaver Dam or Islander)

Herbs (Mint, Parsley or Sage)

I look forward to seeing everyone this afternoon! 

Downpour

We enjoyed rain at the farm on Thursday evening as well as Friday afternoon, but today it was a full on downpour. It felt amazing and a beautiful double rainbow came out right before dark!!!! Magic. Pure magic. There may or may not have been a pot of gold in the garden... I guess you will find out in this week's CSA Harvest.

Various flowers have started blooming in the gardens and the vegetables are growing beautifully. 

It is time to harvest garlic and hang it up in the barn to cure. 

And, I checked on the honey bees this morning. They are bizz buzzing around, busy as ever and helping pollinate the crops. Love these ladies! Keep up the good work girls.

CSA Harvest - Week 5

Bok Choy

Basil

Kohlrabi

Rain drops

I have really been enjoying the afternoon cloud cover and with it, the cooler temperatures and humidity. We received a little more rain on Sunday evening but I am anxious for a BIG downpour... the suspense is building.

In the meantime, I thought I should let you know the cherry tomatoes are starting to change color!! Hopefully we will be harvesting these jewels to share with the CSA in the coming weeks.

Have a beautiful day!
