Notes from Green Thumb Farm 3 August 2007

August 3rd, 2007 by megc

farmer billAugust is here and so is the hot dry weather. No rain in the last two weeks has begun to stress out some of our crops, especially the greens - lettuces, chards, beets, and herbs. With our wide selection of crops, many are still starting so we should have plenty for the next couple months. Summer squashes are doing well with the heat, as are our beans; we also have some soy, lima, and cranberry beans growing nicely. Eggplants are beginning, cucumbers are continuing, and melons are still a ways away.

Our fall crops - oriental greens, rutabagas, and turnips - have all been planted, as well as our broccoli, brussels sprouts, kales, and cabbage. With a little bit of rain, all will be well.

Organically yours,

Farmer Bill
