Notes from the Green Thumb Farm

Summer is officially here and so is the heat. The last several weeks have been hot and dry and all our crops have been effected.

Our peas are coming in very quickly and are all bunching up as to when they are ready to harvest, coming in all at once. Coming in this fast they will then be gone just as fast.

We had a good strawberry season even with them coming in early and being done early; the dryness and heat made for very flavorful berries. The tomatoes are doing very well as the dryness and heat are serving them well, too.

Beans, fennel, onions, squash, carrots and fava beans are all coming in now or soon. There will still be more peas coming in over the next few weeks as well as some basil, summer herbs, lettuces and maybe some broccoli joining the upcoming few weeks menus.

Organically yours,

Farmer Bill
