BOX 5

With the cooler and dry weather, the veggies have been slowing down a little here in our gardens.  While we still have tons of green tomatoes, they are really slow to redden.  Most people are having this issue, from the funky year.  I've never seen tomato season start so late.  Same for our sweet corn and peppers.  While our pepper plants are loaded with small peppers, we need some moisture and more of this heat to push them the rest of the way.  

     We grew our combo of green and purple snap beans again like we always do.  The purple beans do lose their purple when you cook them.  

     The garlic has cured nicely in the garage, and we will continue to slip some into each box.

     It looks like we'll be doing our make-up box in September, so stay tuned for that.  Also plans are shaping up for the big farm party on the 14th of September.  Bring a dish to pass,  we will provide beer and hopefully some live music.
