Notes from Green Thumb Farm - July 1, 2013

Notes from Green Thumb Farm

June has come to a close and our crop selection is only increasing. Onions, beets, carrots and fennel are now ready to pick. Fava beans are coming in about a week. Our 1st planting of summer squash and beans are growing rapidly and by mid month will be ready. We still have plenty of lettuces, some culinary herbs and 3 types of peas. So plenty is coming on and much more to look forward to! The last week has been dry on the Island, a blessing after so much rain the two weeks before.

We missed out on most of the severe storms that plagued the Hudson Valley last week. So just another busy couple of weeks - Tomatoes and peppers are growing nicely but are still aways away. Sweet potatoes and winter squashes are now in the ground and growing well. So until next time, have a happy and safe Independence Day.

Organically yours,

Farmer Bill
