Sweet Corn, Tomatoes, Peppers!! It's Summer time!

Hey everybody-

Hope you all enjoyed the summer rains this week. Our crops needed it, and it was the perfect amount, but it was a bummer that we got rain at both of the markets this last week :( A lot of you all came out anyway- thank you!!

We have so much planted right now, and it is all looking really good so far. Here are our muskmelons (cantaloupe). These are our non-weedy rows. We have some that are further along that are almost ready!




There is a picture of the rain coming down while we were hiding out in the trailer.





Tomorrow should be sunny and hot and full of good vegetables. Our summer veggies are really rolling in now! We harvested our first batch of sweet corn: "Peaches and Cream". It is delicious. Plenty sweet, but full of flavor as well. We also will have a large amount of tomatoes, Beefsteak and Brandywine varieties, picked ripe off the vine. We'll have yellow squash, cucumbers, patty pan squash, hot peppers, bell peppers, and a few handfuls of red and green okra. Its about that time of year when people are starting to get sick of yellow squash, but..... have you tried grilling, baking, fajitas, ad spaghetti sauce with yellow squash??? There are many ways to enjoy this relatively cheap, healthy, and very prolific vegetable.

Hope to see you all at the market tomorrow.
