Week 13
Here are some of the
items you may be receiving in your delivery this week:
Assorted Summer
Squash, Green/Purple Peppers, Mesclun, Cucumber- either Holland White or Green,
Early Tomatoes, Assorted Kale, Green/Yellow/Purple Beans!
This week I had a
wonderful amount of texts and emails from Halifax saying “Yea! You got some
rain!” or “You’re getting some of this rain. Right?” Unfortunately No… but
thanks for hoping J
The forecast for the
next 10-14 days for the farm is a possible thundershower tomorrow night with
3mm of rain. Oh Boy. Frankly I’ll take anything.
I was very pleased to
have the beans react well to the watering this past weekend. I had been worried
about blossom drop with the dryness.
Also the cucumbers
came through this week and most are hanging on. However they have reacted very
badly to the cucumber beetles so we may have only a short window with these
ones before we have to wait for the new seedlings to start producing. Flowers
started forming on Thursday.
Have a great weekend!
Your Farmer,
Amber
